Current Term
Our topic for this term is the sea and sea creatures, with lots of shell, water and sand play. During story time we will be reading books such as Tiddlers, Commotion in the Ocean, The Snail and the Whale and the Fish Who Could Wish. We will be making rainbow fish on the playdough table with sequins and coloured playdough. Pirate ships and the RNLI will feature in our role play.
Our daily phonics and number activities will continue, as well as incorporating some messy math's into the mix. These are interactive sessions which are play based and are lots of fun and are a gentle introduction to early phonics and math’s. We have further enhanced our weekly PE sessions with more dedicated equipment to support children's physical development and well being. These will be fun, physically challenging sessions.
As always there will be plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning, collecting blackberries for our blackberry and apple crumbles, listening to sounds in the environment and collecting sticks, leaves and feathers to make mobiles. We now have a dedicated area granted by the Parish Council and this will enable us to develop our outdoor learning further. In conjunction with the Parish Council we are also planting a wild flower garden at the edge of the playing field and this will be another lovely area for the children to learn about nature and our environment.
