Children will continue to be encouraged to give meaning to the marks they make through a range of writing opportunities. Children will learn to recognise and write their special letter/name.

Communication and Language: Children will continue to develop their active listening skills in a range of different scenarios. This will include listening to stories of increasing length and to be able to talk about what happens. Children will be exposed to talk norms and will learn how to take turns when having a

Children will begin to use positional language to describe where an object has been placed. They will build on their knowledge of 2D shapes and be able to

Understanding the World: Through our upcoming topic we will learn about different modes of transport.

Physical Development: Children will continue to develop fundamental movement skills in PE sessions and outdoors. They will develop their movement skills including balancing and riding on balance bikes. Children will be encouraged to consistently use a tripod grip when mark making and forming their special letters. Children will put on their coat independently and attempt to zip it up.

Expressive Arts & Design: Children will listen to pieces of music and songs and will be encouraged to respond to what they have heard, expressing their thoughts and feelings. They will continue to explore a range of arts and crafts where we will be paying particular attention to their ability to clean their paintbrush before changing colour. Children will also continue to develop their cutting skills in a range of different activities.

Additional Information: Please remember to send in ‘Share a Story’ books on Monday morning so they can be swapped for a new one. Remember to send in a pair of named wellies for your child if they do not already have a pair in Nursery. We will be outdoors in all weathers and don’t want the children to get wet feet! It would be great if you could support your child with putting coats and shoes on independently.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development: Children will continue to be encouraged to play alongside other children in a friendly manner taking other people’s feelings into account. They will be encouraged to find their own solutions when faced with challenges. Children will continue to be encouraged to take care of toys and resources, and will be an active participant during tidy up time.

Literacy: Children will listen to a wide variety of high quality animal based stories and will be encouraged to use the vocabulary they hear in their independent play. Children will continue to learn individual phonemes and digraphs (special friends). Children will read alongside an adult a minimum of twice weekly. Children will continue to read words in small sentences and phrases. Children will develop their ability to use their phonic knowledge to write words and short phrases that can be read by themselves and others.

Understanding the World:

Mathematics:

In maths, children will be continuing their mastery based approach in numbers to 10. Children will continue to develop their perceptual subitising skills (seeing the quantity without counting) to build on their understanding of number patterns within 10, including doubles. Their developing sense of the numbers to 10 will support a deeper understanding of the composition of those numbers. The children also have previous experience of investigating groups that have an equal number of objects. This will support their increasing

fluency with number bonds and help them to develop efficient and flexible calculation strategies. Children will play number games using objects to enable 1 to 1 correspondence and

Through a focus on animal stories, children will be exposed to a growing number of animals, and they will learn about their natural habitats and how they grow. They will use non-fiction texts and an atlas to learn about different countries linked to the setting of the book. Children will learn how Christians

themselves as a living thing and how all living things go through an aspect of change. They will observe their local surroundings and see how the natural features change within the season and reflect on how they have changed since they were young. The children will focus on how we keep their bodies healthy and the sort of foods that are good for them and those that they should avoid. The children will learn about where their food comes from and the important people in the world that pro-

They will further consider what these three people have in common. As part of our learning the children will visit the Centre for Life and take part in a workshop all about space, this will enhance their learning and inspire their thinking!

Art - Printmaking In Art, we will build on our prior knowledge of primary colours and our ability to use paintbrushes to make controlled marks and brushstrokes. We shall explore the marks that can be made by printing with a range of different objects. We will be taught the techniques of stencilling and relief printing. We will combine these printing techniques to create a final piece which shall be inspired by the work of the contemporary artist Karen Lenderer.

RE – What is Easter? This half term, we will build upon our understanding of religious festivals, focussing on the major Christian festival of Easter. We will explore the belief that Jesus brings new life and is God’s gift to the world.

Music: Rhythm In music, we will be performing short copycat rhythm patterns accurately, led by the teacher. We will be using both body and instrument percussion to play repeated rhythm patterns.

This term we will be building upon our basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching. Whilst constantly improving our agility, balance and coordination, we will start to develop our attacking, defending and shooting skills and learn new rules to apply in both competitive and cooperative games. Use and apply simple strategies for invasion games.

Reading and Spellings at home: To reach their full potential, children must be reading aloud with an adult at home every night.

This half term, we will be building on our knowledge of physics through our exploration of electricity. Children will learn through hands-on, practical scientific investigations using wires and batteries to create their own circuits. They will also consider which items are conductors and insulators and how these items differ. Furthermore, we will also be discussing the importance of electrical safety.
