Our Topic for Autumn 1

After a few weeks of settling in, we will begin our literacy sessions, which this half term will be focused around the story ‘Peace at Last’ by Jill Murphy. Through retelling the story, the children will practise their speaking and listening skills, learn new vocabulary and explore ways of making marks to represent key events and phrases. 

This text brings lots of opportunities for the children to develop their Personal, Social & Emotional skills, where we will talk about our own and others’ emotions and the importance of bedtime routines. We will also use our investigative skills to find out how shadows are formed and which animals can be seen at night.

Our Maths for Autumn 1

We use the White Rose Maths scheme.  Our initial maths focus this half term will be the phase ‘Match, Sort and Compare’, where the children will be matching, sorting and comparing objects.  We will then move on to ‘Talk about Measure and Patterns’ where the children will be comparing size, mass and capacity and exploring and creating patterns.  As well as direct teaching, the children will continuously explore maths through our learning landscape.

PE

The children will take part in a PE session every Monday.  The children are to come into school wearing their PE kit each Monday.

 

Welly Wednesdays

On Wednesdays we will be spending more time in our school woods doing forest school activities.  If you have not yet done so please bring some named wellies to be kept in school.     

We take full advantange of our outdoor classroom, woods and fields around school, so please ensure children have their coats each day incase of poor weather.
