Spring 1 - People Who Help Us

This term we will be learning about people in our community who do jobs that help others. Watch this space for more about what we have done at the end of term!

Autumn 2 - Once Upon a Time

We have had a super term learning all about traditional tales in our topic, 'Once Upon a Time'! We learned to join in, role-play and retell different stories including The Little Red Hen, The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs and The Billy Goats Gruff. To develop our making skills we built bridges for the Three Billy Goats Gruff and tested them to see if they were strong enough to carry their weight. We also tested different materials to see which was the best to make a house for the Three Little Pigs. We did lots of cooking this term, following recipes to make porridge for the Three Bears and bread for the Little Red Hen! We finished the term by learning about why Christians celebrate Christmas and also put on our own amazing Nativity play to our friends and family!

Autumn 1: All About Me!

We had a great first term in school, learning our new routines and making lots of new friends! We talked about ourselves and what makes us special and have learned to listen to other people's ideas as well. We read the book 'The Dot' by Peter H. Reynolds. Through this story we learned that it important to keep practising and never give up! It also gave us the opportunity to develop our art and mark making skills through lots of dotty art.

We have also been practising our painting and colour mixing skills, creating our own self-portraits. See if you can spot them in the corridor outside Year R! We are ending the term by observing changes in our season, learning about the creation story in RE and making our own delicious pumpkin soup!
