Autumn Term 2 - Under the Stars
Welcome back to school for an exciting 2nd half of our Autumn term! We cannot wait to immerse ourselves into our new school theme ‘Under the Stars’ where we will be learning about the different celebrations we have at this time of year.
We will find out about the Gunpowder Plot and why we celebrate bonfire night. The children will then find out about the festival of Diwali and how that is celebrated. The children will then learn about advent and Christmas.
We love reading in EYFS and one of the stories we will be enjoying this term is Owl Babies and what happens to them at night under the stars.
Please keep checking our Class Dojo for more exciting curriculum updates!
Autumn 1- Warriors of the World!
A warm welcome to everyone who is starting school with us this year. We have loved welcoming all the new children and families into reception after the summer break. The children look eager to start school and their learning.
The whole school theme for this half term is ‘Warriors of the World!’ In Early Years we will be enjoying traditional tales and seeing if good always conquers. We can not wait to enjoy listening to the different stories and in particular the Gingerbread man and Goldilocks and Three Bears. We will also be learning to tell the stories ourselves through puppets, role play and pictures.
Our spotlight author this term is Jill Murphy. We have lots of books by her in our reading area this half term. The children will enjoy listening to the adventures of the Large family as well as Mr and Mrs Bear.
Our Rocket Phonics lesson will begin as soon as all of the children start school. They will be learning the first set of sounds from the scheme as well as the first six common exception words. The children will enjoy the stories of Nip and Nap as they discover new places and introduce each new sound to the children.
As young artists, we will study the artwork of Piet Mondrian. We will explore colour and how to use the painting area in the classroom. The children will learn the three primary colours as well as how to use their paintbrush to create thick and thin lines as well as shapes. The children will create their own artwork in the style of Mondrian.
As part of our learning in Understanding the World, we will introduce ourselves to our new friends and share who is in our family. We will talk about belonging to our school community and we will find out about the different adults in school and the jobs they do to help. We will also talk about belonging to our local community as we talk about our village and what there is in the village
We have lots of fun activities and experiences to look forward to - remember to look out for photographs on our ‘EYFS Class Page’ where we will share our learning with you and please read our curriculum newsletter letter below for more information about our exciting learning!
Our '50 Things to do before leaving Thorpe' for this half term is to meet members of the Emergency Service. Watch this space to see who comes to visit us at school!
