Summer 1 Curriculum Maps

Literacy:

This half term, the children will learn about the difference between a fiction and a non-fiction text as they learn about the important people in their community who help them and keep them safe (Police, doctors, firefighters, farmers etc.)

The children will have the opportunity to ask and answer questions about the different professions. The children will continue to develop their phonetic knowledge as they continue to learn and identify the picture rhymes associated with Read, Write Inc. This will support them with their transition in to Reception.

Communication and Language:

The children are now expected to sit for a longer time on the carpet area during group time discussions, actively listening and responding accordingly. The children will continue to respond to instructions including more than one direction (get your coat and line up). The children will develop a sense of time through the days of the week song. They will be encouraged to use past and future tense with more accuracy.
