Class Teachers: Ms See, Ms McQueen and Ms Ricketts 

Autumn 1

This term the focus will be settling the children into school. The children will take part in lots of activities related to this theme, like making self-portraits, practicing writing their name and sharing information about their family and home. The children will be given tours of the school and will get to know all the people that work within it. 

We will explore lots of stories related to this theme, like All Are Welcome and All Kinds of People, and will use these to do some writing activities. 

We will begin our phonics lessons and will start learning to recognise and write our first graphemes. 

In maths we will practice automatically recognising amounts up to 5 and explore the composition of these numbers. We will also practice sorting objects and making simple patterns. 

In P.S.H.E. we will begin learning about the Zones of Regulation and how to identify and manage our feelings. We will also do lots of circle times to bond as a class and learn how to manage friendships. 

In P.E. we will be experimenting with different ways of moving and we will be learning to jump and land appropriately. 

In R.E. we will exploring Christianity and the question – Who made this wonderful world? We will explore this through lots of hands on activities, Bible stories and discussion.
