Welcome to Rabbits & Squirrels (EYFS)

We are the youngest children of Downton Primary School, our class names are Rabbits and Squirrels. Rabbits is taught by Mrs Job supported by Mrs Dunlop and Mrs Hall, and Squirrels are taught by Mrs Barclay and Mrs Wells supported by Mrs Humphreys. We love learning in our beautiful classrooms, and also love to be outdoors whatever the weather exploring our own garden and the local area.

Every child in Rabbits and Squirrels has their own individual Seesaw account which we update regularly with photos and information about our learning - please check the app regularly - thank you!

We follow the Song of Sounds Phonics programme for our phonics learning. In Maths we follow the White Rose Maths planning. For our PSHE we use Jigsaw and for RE we use a combination of Understanding Christianity and Discovery RE. We use the EYFS Curriculum and plan according to their individual needs and next steps. At the end of the year we assess the children against the 17 Early Learning Goals.
