Each half term, our class page will be updated with information about our learning themes.  

Our new theme, this half term, is …

We will explore stories based at the farm. 

These will include the following:

These stories will help the children find out about farms through some fictional adventures.   

We will also explore some non-fiction books and eBooks about farm animals, crops that farms might produce and the farm vehicles they might use.  The children will learn to name and match farm babies with the correct adult animal.

We would warmly, welcome any photos from our farming families so we can see what local working farms actually look like.  The children will also have the opportunity to explore a real farm, first-hand, as we visit Fordhall Farm.

As we move into spring, the children will be encouraged to use all of their senses to notice seasonal changes, such as, new flowers and spring buds.  Easter will help us focus our learning on new life.  We will explore the life cycle of a hen and use the new vocabulary to talk about the different stages.  Easter will also allow us to indulge in some Easter crafts.

In Maths, we will continue to learn a selection of number rhymes and songs. We will explore a selection of suggested stories (from our maths scheme ‘Master the Curriculum’).  These will include ‘Six Dinner Sid’ and ‘How Much Does a Ladybird Weigh?’

Our number journey will continue with a focus on number 6.  We will then explore measure (length, height, mass and capacity) and comparative language.

Remember, for more detail about learning opportunities see the pre-school weekly letter.
