Autumn 1 - All About Me
We will begin to make sense of our own life story and family history by looking at different religious and cultural celebrations and understand special places for members of our community. We will celebrate languages day by enjoying sine French food and learning some French words. We will investigate our surroundings and observe the changes that Autumn brings. We will experiment with mark making and developing pencil control while we begin to use our emergent writing for name writing, lists and labels. Daily phonics sessions using our Rocket Phonics scheme will help us to begin to develop an understanding and use of letter sounds.
Please see the curriculum booklet for further information about the curriculum coverage for Autumn 1.
Our P.E this term will be an Introduction to PE and Fundamentals. These focus on key skills such as spatial awareness and travelling in different ways. All children must come to school in a full PE kit on PE days. They must wear PE kit following our policy; dark coloured tracksuits are essential for PE during the colder weather and t-shirt and shorts are still required for indoor PE. Earrings MUST be removed and long hair must be tied back before your child comes to school.
Please see the curriculum booklet for further information about the curriculum coverage for the Autumn term.
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
Wednesday - 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.
