Summer 2 Term!

This half term our theme is “Around the World” and we are excited to explore lots of exciting topics linked to summer, hot places, the seaside, travel and animals from around the world. Through our learning and play, the children will have many opportunities to develop their curiosity and learn about different environments, cultures and experiences.

​

Our focus books this half term include Zog, The Rainbow Fish, Summer Days and Nights and The World Around Me. These stories will inspire our learning across the curriculum and support the children’s communication, imagination and understanding of the world.

​

As we begin preparing for the exciting transition into Year 1, we will be spending lots of time developing independence, confidence and resilience. This links closely to our Jigsaw PSHE module, “Changing Me”, where we will explore change in a positive and supportive way.

​

In PE, we will be focusing on the Health and Fitness cog from Jasmine PE, with a particular emphasis on developing agility, coordination and teamwork through fun games and activities.

​

In Phonics, we will continue building confidence with blending and reading skills as we focus on Phase 4 phonics. The children will practise reading CVCC words, adjacent consonants such as sk, cr, sl, tr, dr, scr, st, spr, pl, sw, fr, sn, sm and vr, alongside reading common exception words including do, when, out, what, said, have, like and so.

​

In Maths, we will continue following the NCETM Mastering Number programme, developing automatic recall of number bonds to 5 and beginning to extend this understanding to number bonds to 10.

​

We are looking forward to another exciting half term full of exploration, creativity and fun learning experiences!
