Spring Term in EYFS
Welcome back to the EYFS page, Happy New Year! As you know, our teachers are Mrs Barnes and Mrs Bourne. Mrs Barnes takes the lead on a Monday-Wednesday and Mrs Bourne on a Thursday and Friday, although Mrs Bourne is in class all week. We are very happy that a new member of staff, Mrs J, will also be working with us on a Thursday and Friday.
You can find information about our learning in the EYFS class here EYFS 2025-2026 updated RE and more specifically for this half term here Spring 1 2026
You can support the learning this half term again by using the ‘Learning at home’ activities https://www.coplaneprimary.co.uk/our-classes/reception/learning-at-home/
Our PE sessions continue to be on a WEDNESDAY and a FRIDAY. Please remember that your child needs to come to school in their Cop Lane school PE kit on these days and have any earrings or any other jewellery removed.
Please remember that we learn outdoors in all weathers, so children do need a waterproof/warm coat – as you know, the weather in our country can be very temperamental! All children have their wellies in school in a bag, for us to use with our outdoor learning, thank you for this.
Our class Governors this year are Mrs Taylor and Mr Spence and we look forward to meeting Mrs Taylor and hope that Mr Spence can join us again soon.
We will keep sharing information and photographs with you via Seesaw, so please check regularly.

Growth Mindset
One of the things we focus on in our school is having a Growth Mindset, rather than thinking we can’t do things, saying we might not be able to do things yet.

In the Reception class the children take part in activities and experiences linked to the EYFS framework. The children work within three Prime and four Specific Areas of Learning and Development, to enable them to learn and develop at their own rate to reach their potential. These Areas of Learning are:
Personal, Social and Emotional Development Physical Development
Communication and Language Mathematics
Literacy Understanding the World Expressive Arts and Design
• At the end of each fortnight we choose children who have impressed us in some way to receive a Superstar certificate, which is presented in the key stage Superstar worship on Friday morning. If your child receives the award, we will let you know via text message and SeeSaw on the Thursday and you can attend the worship on the Friday morning.
• We hope you will find this information useful. Please feel free to contact us via the main office and we can give you a call, or you can speak to us on the gate after school.
Thank you for your support.
Mrs Barnes and Mrs Bourne
