What Are We Learning?

 

This half term our topic is 'Long, long ago'. Children will learn about nature, different landscapes and the importance of a sustainable environment. 

 

 

Phonics

We use Phonics Shed to support our phonics lessons. Puppet Joe joins us in each of our lessons. Our lesson begins with a welcome song and we then recap all of the phonemes that we have learnt. When we are learning our new sound, there is a song, a story and an action to make our learning more exciting. We then practice writing our new grapheme and reading it in words.

 

 

Reading books will be changed on Monday and Thursday each week.

Reading for pleasure books will be changed on a Monday.

 

Literacy

In literacy, we will read a new story each week and we use Drawing club to bring this story to life. In our literacy lessons, children will learn new vocabulary, which we will practice each day. We will then use our imaginations to adapt the story that we have shared and create our own adventure for the character.

 

Maths

We follow The White Rose Maths scheme. The children develop their skills and knowledge and apply them through play in our continuous provision. 

PE Information

 

Reception will have PE lessons on a Wednesday Morning. Children should come to school in PE kit on a Wednesday so we are ready for our lesson.

 

We will do a range of activities to help us work together and learn our basic skills as well as understand how exercise helps us to be healthy. We follow Complete PE.
