Term 6 - We're going on a minibeast hunt...

Well can you believe we are in our last term of the year! A busy but exciting term learning all about minibeasts. Our role play area has been turned into a Science lab where the children can come and explore minibeasts. We will be learning about a different minibeast each week and even have some caterpillars to watch grow and change into beautiful butterflies which we can then realise in to the world.

Term 5 - Once upon a time...

Welcome back to term 5, we hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday. This term the children have chosen the topic and it is based around fairy tales. We will be reading lots of stories, focusing on the characters, settings and props. Our role play area has been turned into a castle, this will enable to children to take on different roles, dress up as different characters and introduce a storyline to their play. We will be celebrating the end of our topic with an fairy tale ball! We will be dressing up, ballroom dancing and having a banquet style snack time!

We are all looking forward to an exciting, hopefully sunny, term ahead!

Term 4 - How does your garden grow?

This term is a short but busy term. We will be looking at growing by growing our own plants and looking at what plants need to grow. We will also be looking at signs of spring. The term will be ended with learning about the Easter and our fabulous PAXFACTOR!

Please look at our Curriculum letter and Topic web for more details.

Term 3 - Toy Box

This term we will be basing our learning around toys. We will be using our own toys as a stimulus for our learning and also stories based on toys. We will be look at old and new toys and making a visit to the Museum to extend and consolidate our learning.

Learn more about this topic by taking a look at the curriculum letter and topic web below.

Term 2 - Wrapping up!

Welcome back

This term we will be learning about the seasons, weather and celebrations, such as Bonfire night, Diwali and Christmas! We will be out and about on welly walks, (making sure we are all wrapped up warm) and we will be exploring different types of weather, focussing on cold and ice.

Christmas will arrive in the classroom in December! Our role play will become Santa’s Workshop where we will be able to wrap up gifts, write lists and make cards. We will be writing and posting our letters to Santa and we will be busy making cards and Christmas crafts.

We are all looking forward to a term filled with sparkles and smiles!

Term 1 - A Colour Carnival

Our topic this term is 'A Colour Carnival!' We are learning all about colours; naming them, mixing them together and singing songs about colour. At the end of term we are going to have a colour carnival and dress up in as many different colours as we can. We are all very excited about our vibrant topic!
