What Are We Learning?
Classroom Routines: The children are doing amazingly well at coming to the table for breakfast, snack and lunch. We are also having lots of fun with our good morning song- some of the children are already joining in with the Makaton signs. We are also experiencing learning about the Days of the Week using Makaton signs!
Play: Our play ethos is child led play. The children are already demonstrating confidence to share preferences for the toys and we are observing lots of lovely interactions and communication with staff.
Numeracy: The children are enjoying and engaging well with numeracy experiences. We are developing our number recognition using nursery rhymes which is currently 1,2,3,4,5 and can show number 1 on our fingers.
Literacy: We are continuing to foster our communication using Makaton and visual stimuli. The children are responding well to this!
What Are We Learning?
Reading: Our class novel this term is How to Train Your Dragon. We are developing our listening skills in listening to Mrs McClelland reading the story as we as lots of exciting activities about DRAGONS!
Writing: Our writing will encompass the How to Train Your Dragon theme. We will be continuing to develop our vocabulary and use of adjectives to describe our dragons. We hope they don’t end up flying around the Base!
Listening and Talking: We will continue to use visuals to promote our understanding of social skills including taking turns, use of eye contact and body language when we are conversing with our friends and answering questions-
Numeracy: In Numeracy in term we will be building our children’s number knowledge through the use of Maths Mastery.
