EYFS

Parent Workshops - January 2026

Maths

Our recent EYFS Maths Workshop gave parents an opportunity to explore how we teach early maths skills in the classroom. Families took part in hands-on activities alongside their children and saw how play-based learning supports understanding of numbers and problem-solving. One parent shared, “It was so helpful to see how maths is taught at school – I now feel more confident supporting my child at home,” while another said, “I loved taking part in the activities with my child – it was fun and informative!”

 

Phonics

Our recent EYFS Phonics Workshop was a great success, giving parents a chance to see first-hand how we teach early reading and phonics at school. Families enjoyed practical demonstrations of our teaching methods and experienced how learning through play supports children’s reading development. One parent commented, “The demonstration was helpful for us to understand the teaching process at school,” while another said, “Great to see learning through play – has given me great tips for when we are at home!” It was wonderful to see so many parents engaged and inspired to support their children’s learning at home.
