Reading
Reading is an important part of every childs development in school and part of your childs home learning is reading at home for 10-15 minutes every day.
Please download the document below to learn more about how reading at Glodwick is taught and to see helpful tips on reading with your child at home.
Home Learning
Your Child's Home Learning will be put onto Class Dojo every week by their class teacher.
With a wide range of fun activities we have been mindful of what may be available at home.
Please take pictures of your child completing the activity and upload to Class Dojo for the class teacher to see their fantastic learning.

Annual Curriculum Overview 2022-23
In the EYFS we consider children’s interests when planning our curriculum. We aim to provide children with a broad and balanced curriculum that will provide children with the opportunity to make as much progress as possible whilst developing a love and enthusiasm for learning.
We create a simple plan based on our observations of children’s interests as they enter Nursery and Reception. The details of the curriculum to be taught are added each half term but can be subject to change depending on the children.
A more detailed plan is added onto the class pages at the beginning of each half term so you can see what your child will be learning in school and use this to help support them with their learning at home.
