Please make sure your child has a water bottle, coat/rain jacket and they have a spare set of clothes to keep on their peg each day. This should consist of a top, bottoms, pants and socks. We encourage a spare pairs of wellies to be left at school as we spend lots of time outside! Please label all items with your child's name to avoid items getting lost. We work hard to teach the children to become more independent with putting on shoes and welly boots - please help us with this by encouraging your child to do this at home.
Please make sure you are signed up to Class Dojo for day to day updates about all out exciting activities, and information about your child's progress. If you have any questions or queries you can speak to us at drop off/pick up time or message us on Class Dojo.
Term 2:
This term our topic is 'What is Winter?' and 'What is Christmas?'
During this time we will be focusing on noticing changes in our environment. As always, we will be spending lots of time outside! We will be thinking about what happens at Christmas and what traditions we have at home.
In Maths we will be exploring repeating patterns using colour and objects. We will be hearing and saying number names, focusing on saying them in order. We will be focusing on 1, 2, 3 and 4 where we will practise subitising, making amounts and recognising the numerals.
In English we will be focusing on the stories, 'The Gingerbread Man' and 'Dear Santa'. As the term progresses we will begin learning some new Christmas songs ready to perform for our grown ups in December.
A warm waterproof coat is a must at this time of year so the children can continue enjoying lots of outdoor learning. Children are encouraged to wear hats and gloves too on cold days.
