Welcome to Early Years
We love reading! We use Read, Write Inc to support our teaching of phonics and reading and our children are taught in small targeted groups each day. We assess children each half term so as we are always confident that their phonics learning meets their needs. Every child takes home a Read, Write Inc reading book each week to show off their wonderful reading skills, that they have worked so hard on all week, at home.
Please explore our English curriculum pages to find out more about how we teach phonics within our school.
Spring 1 half term theme- 'Growing things'
This half term we will be exploring stories with the theme of growing things. We will be learning about growing plants and observing the changes that occur as they grow.
RE - Lent and Holy Week
In our RE lessons, we will begin with the unit of Lent. We will be learning what Lent is and how we can pray and make choices to help us grow closer to God. We will also reflect on the parable of the Talents to think about how we can use our gifts from God to help others.
Our big question will be...
How can we help others in Lent?
Reading and Writing
As well as following the phonics scheme Read Write Inc we will be doing lots of writing for purpose to help engage the children in their learning and promote a love of writing! The children will be writing lists, making cards, writing captions, making signs and learning to write their names.
Maths
During our 'Number Time' the children will begin to build a firm foundation of the number system and order. Children will learn to compare, order and count quantities. We will be building on our knowledge of numbers to 10 by understanding their composition and recalling their number bonds. We will be learning to find 1 more and 1 less and order them on a number line.
