For our first term in school, we will be focusing on 'Our Class is a Family' book. We will be learning all of our new friends names and all about our school. 

We will learn how we can be ready for learning, our classroom routines and our class rules.

Physical Development 

We will be having trim trail sessions to develop balancing, climbing and jumping.
We will also learn how to use our outdoor area and equipment which will include; balance bikes, balancing beams and crates. 
We will be using the story ‘Oh the things you can do which are good for you’ to develop the children's understanding of handwashing, drinking water and  recognising feelings.
We will also develop our fine motor skills through the use of lots of different resources and activities to develop pre -writing skills.

Literacy 

We will start learning to read this term. We will meet Fred the frog who will teach us our sounds and how to write them. We will play some rhyming games and learn to hear what Fred is Fred talking. 

We will also practise reading and learning the letters in our names.
 

Mathematics 

In Maths we will learn some number songs and rhymes. We will learn to subitise  to 5 and learn how to count with 1:1 correspondence. 
We will also explore repeating patterns and make our own.

Knowledge and Understanding of the World 

We will identify and name the different parts of the body. We will look at how we have changed from a baby to now – what can I do now that I could not do before?
We will look at similarities and differences between each other and discuss our families and special experiences/events we have had in our lives.

We will also explore how many seasons there are and what changes you will see.
