Reception EYFS - Diamonds
Mrs Knowles (Wednesday, Thursday & Friday)
I have been working part time across the Nursery and Reception classes at Homer First School for just over 3 years. It is a very friendly, happy school and I am sure you will enjoy being a part of it as much as I do. When I am not at Homer First School, I am at home with my husband and our 19 year old daughter. Outside of school I enjoy cooking, baking, walking with our dog and spending time meeting up with friends and family. I am really looking forward to seeing you all in September and helping you settle into school. We will have lots of fun together, playing and learning. Have a lovely summer holidays and let's hope the sun keeps shining!

Early Years Foundation Stage
Your child's time in the Early Years Foundation Stage should prepare them for the rest of their time in school.
We want children to develop independence, to co-operate and to work alongside others. We encourage them to talk and communicate in a range of situations, building on what they already know, understand and can do.
Planning is led by the interests of the children. Our staff provide opportunities for every child to achieve their potential. During this stage a stimulating learning environment through play delivers all curriculum areas which need to form the basis of future learning including phonics, early reading and mathematics skills.
The children learn through play. They can explore, practice and refine specific skills through carefully organised activities and events.
Every child has a digital learning journey which documents all their learning and progress through the year. We capture their experiences and learning using Evidence Me observations. Once you have signed up to Evidence Me, you will receive weekly observations of your child and a summary of learning from that week.
