Happy New Year Everyone!  It is time to start the new year with exciting new adventures! 

 Our topic this half term is

Off on a cold adventure!

We begin this half term ‘Off on a cold Adventure.  We will pack up our back packs and fly off to the polar lands of the world.  Spotting penguins and polar bears, arctic foxes and orca.  We will dance like penguins and cuddle up to polar bears.  We will explore ice and snow.  We will make up stories and invent new characters.  

Our focus books we will be sharing together will be - 

 We will continue to explore the woodland area and talking about Winter.  We will sing nursery rhymes and learn simple poems.  We will paint, make music and use our imagination to make up stories and dances. We will be focusing on the school values of Respect and Acceptance, encouraging children to share, take turns, saying please and thank you and looking after our resources.

Every morning we have fun with Fred Frog practising and learning new sounds and words in the Read Write Inc sessions. Children will continue to be taught to say and recognise initial letter sounds of words and Special Friends sounds - two letters that make one sound. We will be beginning to read ‘Ditty’ passages (phonically decodable passages based on the letter sounds already taught.)

Following this we have communication time, when children will listen to a story and answer questions about it.  We have Magic Maths, learning new mathematical knowledge in a fun way followed by book time and writing.   In the afternoon we have story time, rhyme time and Vocab Ninja! Each afternoon has a different focus - Re, Music, Woodland Adventures, P.E. Circle Time, Dance, Drawing Club, Our Wonderful World, Healthy Heroes, Create and Imagine and lots more!  Finishing off the day with Key Person time, where children have a chance to chat, have a healthy snack and to review the day's learning.  We learn in our inside and outside classroom in all weathers!

We have supervised toothbrushing every day and learn about keeping healthy.   If you would like further information regarding this click below for the parent powerpoint.  

PE Day - Every Thursday - We are focusing on functional motor skills in our PE lessons.  Running, jumping, hopping, throwing and catching.  We talk about the changes that happen to our bodies when we do exercise.

Outside Adventures - Every Wednesday - We like to investigate the environment around us including the woodland area on campus and our local environment.
