Autumn 1 - All About Me
Our learning this half term will centre around the topic ‘All about Me’ Throughout the term, children will experiment with mark making and developing pencil control. Children will begin to use their emergent writing for name writing, lists and labels. They will share a variety of fiction and non-fiction books to learn more about our topic. We will begin to make sense of own life story and family history. We will be looking at different religious and cultural celebrations and understand special places for members of our community. We will also celebrate languages day by enjoying some French food and learning some French words. Children will have the opportunity to see themselves as valued individuals within our school community. They will learn about how it feels to belong and that we have similarities and differences. Throughout the theme, children will be learning about being kind and playing together. We will think about belonging to our class and what our class expectations are.
Please see the curriculum booklet for further information about the curriculum coverage for Autumn 1.
Physical Development
Physical Development in the Foundation Stage is taught across the curriculum and throughout our indoor and outdoor provision. Children enjoy free-flow access to indoor/outdoor facilities all day. They also have 2 designated PE sessions each week which will focus on the skills of balance, object control and stability. We work hard to develop fine and gross motor skills so that children grow to be strong and well coordinated individuals.
PE days
Tuesday - outdoor PE
Friday - indoor PE
Please come to school in your PE kit on these days. For indoor PE shorts are required - please wear them underneath your joggers or bring them in your bag to change into. Children will need to have the correct clothing in order to take part. Please ensure children are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions when doing outdoor PE! Please ensure long hair is tied back and all jewellery is removed as children will not be able to take part in the lesson if they are wearing jewellery.
