Phonics - we use Unlocking Letters and Sounds to deliver high quality Phonics lessons. Each lesson follows a key process to ensure children are successful in their learning. The lesson begins with a revision session (to revise pervious learning) and then new learning is introduced.

Throughout the day, they are then provided with opportunities in all areas to

Autumn 2

 

We explored a farm together with the focus of our key word of the week ‘different’. We looked at the differences between the animals and the sounds that they make.

 

When focusing on our key word of the week ‘help’, we worked as builders to help each other build a house for the bears. We explored the job role of being a vet and helping animals in our surgery.

 

We have enjoyed investigating how nature changes around us and how this makes our playground look different. 

 

We created a road on the playground to develop our understanding of road safety. We created zebra crossings and practiced looking before we crossed the road. We have become increasingly confident when riding bikes, scooters and driving the cars. We enjoyed creating a role play petrol station to fill up the cars.

 

 

 

 

Autumn 2

This term we have been looking at the question 'How do astronauts get into space?'. Here are our astronauts that are ready to blast off into space. 

 

We're exploring making art using different materials and have been looking at the different planets that are in our solar system.

 

We found out that satellites take pictures of Earth so that we can use maps. Then we created our own maps choosing what landmarks we might see.

 

We are focusing on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk this term. We are describing the different characters of the story and making sentences by choosing the correct character and an adjective from a range of visual cards.

 

We have also been working really hard on our letter formation this term and becoming more independent in controlling a pencil.
