Hello everyone, and welcome to Chick's homepage.

Time for new adventures in Chicks class.

'Time for our Summer 1 theme .-

If you go down to the woods today......

This half term we will be focusing on traditional tales including Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk.   We will be using our imaginations to tell stories and change stories to our own versions.  We will be looking at different characters and taking on their roles, going on adventures in the Woodland area to find the characters and creating character homes.

We will continue to explore the woodland area and investigating changes.  We will look for mini-beasts and types of trees. We will follow and make maps.  We will plant and grow different seeds.  We will sing nursery rhymes and learn simple poems.  We will paint, make models, create music and use our imagination.

Morning Lessons

In our Read Write Inc lessons, the children learn new sounds and words with the help of Fred Frog. Next comes communication time when the children listen to a story and answer questions about it. In Magic Maths, they have lots of fun developing their maths knowledge. Before dinner, we also have book time and writing.

Afternoon Lessons

Chicks start the afternoon with story time, rhyme time and Vocab Ninja. Then, depending on which day it is, we move on to RE, Music, Woodland Adventures, PE, Circle Time, Our Wonderful World, Healthy Heroes, Create and imagine and many other things! At Barden, we learn inside and outside the classroom in all different kinds of weather!

After all this excitement and learning, the children end the day with Key Person Time. In this, they sit down with a healthy snack, have a chat, and review their learning from the day.
