Elm Class - Early Years Foundation Stage ~ Reception | Kirkham and Wesham Primary School

Welcome to Elm class, the EYFS page!

Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We are so excited to begin this special journey with your child. In our class, children learn through play, exploration and lots of fun activities that help them grow in confidence and independence. We work closely with families to make sure they feel happy, safe and supported. Together, we will give your child the very best start to their school life.

We encourage children to bring water bottles each day.
