Our topics for learning!
Topic 1: Me and My Senses
We learn the names for our body parts through songs and rhymes such as 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes'. We explore our senses of sight, sound, taste, touch and smell through experiments and investigations. We enjoy taste testing, going on listening walks and matching textures and finding smells.
Topic 2: To the Moon and Back
We explore the earth and the sky through stories, festivals and celebrations for example Divali, Hannukah and Christmas. We look at planets, aliens and towards Christmas maybe even have a visit from Santa!
Topic 3: Stories and Rhymes
In this topic we listen to traditional and modern stories and rhymes including The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Owl Babies and a special visit from The Tiger Who Came to Tea! We also take a look at the characters within rhymes such as Humpty Dumpty, Old MacDonald and Miss Polly.
Topic 4: The Farm
We find out about animals and their babies who live on a farm. We investigate where food comes from such as milk, eggs and we will be making our own bread.
Topic 5: Minibeasts
We will examine lots of minibeasts and their habitats. We will be going on a minibeast hunt, making a giant spider web and having an Ugly Bug Ball. We will be learning about life cycles and listening to stories such as The Bad Tempered Ladybird, The Very Hungry Caterpillar as well as songs such as The Incey Wincey Spider.
Topic 6: Fun in the Sun
We have adventures and fun when we look at the seaside, rockpools and the underwater world. We explore the beach, the sea, the parks and playgrounds around us. We look at life in the ocean, clothes we wear when it's hot, pushes and pulls within the playgrounds and parks.
