Personal, Social & Emotional
Development: We will continue to learn about managing feelings and being independent in preparation for the move to Year One. We will encourage confidence, ready to try new adventures and celebrate all of our achievements.
Maths:
Physical Development: Sports Day is on the horizon, so children will be practicing running and moving in different ways! West Lancashire Coaches take PE once a week.
Fine motor skills will continue to be stretched through creative play and formal teaching of letter and number formation.
Consolidating counting with numbers up to 10, and learning number-bonds (composition of number) to 10. We will be focussing on the Early Learning Goal requirements for number and numerical patterns, such as doubles and odd/even numbers.
Understanding the world: We will link the children’s learning about traditional tales, specifically The Three Little Pigs, to our local environment of Churchtown Village. We will compare the houses and infrastructure we see today with those of the past.
Literacy: We will continue sharing traditional tales, beginning with Goldilocks, and encourage the children to reflect on the characters and settings in stories. Phonics groups will continue, and children will have increased opportunities to write independently, and to apply their phonic skills in 'Drawing Club'.
Reception - Summer 2: ‘Once Upon a Time…’
Communication & Language: Children will be encouraged to talk more confidently to audiences through the characters in traditional tales. We will also be working on extending children’s listening and concentration in preparation for Year One.
Expressive Arts: Opportunities to invent, adapt and recount the stories they have heard, create and act out their own versions of the stories through role play. Create their own music and songs and have opportunities to use a variety of musical instruments.
RE: Through books and stories, we will explore our key question; “where do we belong?”. We will discuss belonging in our classrooms and will visit St Cuthbert’s church as part of this.
