Spring Term 2

'Out and About'

In the second half of term our topic is Out and About. We will be learning about our local environment and the features of the town compared to the country. Some of our books which link to the learning are Town Mouse Country Mouse, Stick Man, Farmer Duck, The Gruffalo and Rosie's Walk. We will also celebrate World Book Day, Science Week and Red Nose Day!

Spring Term 1

This term we are learning about our 5 Senses in our topic Super Scientists.

Even though we are working at home we have still been really busy!  Our teachers have set us daily learning so that we can continue our learning journey at home. We have carried out lots of fun activities to learn more about our 5 senses. We have made healthy meals, created some natural art, tested nice and nasty smells, listened to stories, written lots of lists and sentences, explored number sentences and learnt lots about weighing and measuring. 

Our Autumn topic  is  called "Hands Across the World".

We will be learning about ourselves and our friends. We will learn about different countries, languages and traditions that our friends may know. Some of the books that we will be sharing are The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Need a Trim Jim, Handa's Surprise, Handa's Hen, We Went on a Safari and Katie and the Waterlillies. You might like to share these books at home, find them in the library or watch the film clips on You Tube to support your child's learning. We will end the topic with a French Immersion Week. We will share some typical French food, learn some French Country dancing and also explore the paintings of Claude Monet.

Here are some pictures of us all making friends and

settling into our new classes.

Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development

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.
