Counting songs
Phonics Play
As Writers, we will develop a comfortable pencil grip. We will continue to learn and confidently retell stories such as: Room on the Broom, Funny Bones, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, and Stick Man through Drawing Club and Talk for Writing.
As Readers, we will read individual letters by saying the sounds for them. We will practise blending sounds into words, so that we can read short words made up of known letter-sound correspondences matched to our current phonic knowledge. We will also continue to learn the Common Exception Words so that we can read them by sight.
As Mathematicians, we will continue to reinforce our understanding of cardinality—that the last number in the count tells us ‘how many’ there are altogether. We will also further practise our 1:1 correspondence skill, by counting numbers as we move objects.
As Geographers, we will compare features of the local environment to other places around the world. We will also begin to develop spatial awareness and practice the use of positional language.
As Chefs, we will walk to Tesco to buy the ingredients to make Christmas themed cakes/biscuits.
As Musicians, we will continue to learn poems through The Poetry Basket in order to develop our core language skills and vocabulary. We will also learn a range of Christmas songs before performing to an audience.
As Historians, we will learn about the Gunpowder plot, including why the Plot started and how it was stopped.
As Artists, we will explore the work of the famous sculptor and photographer – Andy Goldsworthy. We will be able to create our own artwork that is influenced by Goldsworthy’s work using natural materials, such as rocks, mud, pine cones and leaves.
As Scientists, we will explore the physical properties of ice and will use relative vocabulary to describe ice.
As Designers, we will enjoy engaging in Christmas crafts.
As Theologians, we will explore religious beliefs in a thoughtful way. We will learn about the different festivals and celebrations that take place around the world, including how Christmas is celebrated in different countries.
In PE, we will develop our awareness and speed and explore different ways of travelling.
Our theme in PSHE this term is ‘My Feelings’. Throughout the term we will be learning to explore and understand our feelings, and begin learning how to communicate and cope with different emotions. We will also introduce ‘Zones of Regulation’, which is a whole school approach to building key self-regulation skills.
As Writers, we will engage in daily pre-writing fine motor activities in order to build
muscle strength in our hands in preparation for writing. Some of our activities will
include: Dough Disco, finger gym, threading and many more!
As Readers, we will be introduced to the characters from the Supersonic Phonics
Friends scheme. We will develop our listening skills and awareness of sounds in the
environment to experience and appreciate rhythm and rhyme. We will also learn to
distinguish the differences in vocal sounds, including oral blending and segmenting.
As Mathematicians, we will learn to count through rhymes and songs. We will use our
class calendars to learn the seasons, months and days of the week. We will be introduced
to the concept of subitising where we will ‘Use our eyes to subitise!’
As Geographers, we will become more familiar with our school by identifying the key
areas.
As Chefs, we will walk to Tesco to buy the ingredients to make bread rolls and fruit
kebabs.
As Musicians, we will sing lots of well known nursery rhymes and learn new poems
through the introduction of the poetry basket.
As Historians, we will talk about the members of our immediate family and our relationship to them. We will be able to name and describe people who are familiar to us. We will also explore the concept of past and present through our class calendar, floor books and Tapestry. We will look at photos from when we were a baby and describe the changes that we recognise.
As Artists, we will explore colour mixing that is influenced by the work of Wassily Kandsinsky.
As Scientists, we will notice the changes to the natural world. We will be able to recall the name of the current season and identify key signs.
As Designers, we will design and make our own bread rolls.
As Theologians, we will explore religious beliefs in a thoughtful way. We will learn about the different festivals and celebrations that take place around the world including Harvest and Diwali.
In PE, we will develop our agility, balance and coordination through body management. We will recognise the importance of keeping healthy and the changes that happen to our bodies when we are active.
Our theme in PSHE this term is ‘Special Relationships’. We will talk about our families and people that are special to us as well as thinking about what makes us unique.
