During the Autumn Term, our topic is titled

During Autumn 1, our learning will focus on:

They will have a follow on the following rhymes:

Mrs Evans and Mrs Nash's key worker groups -

Our three and four year old's classroom time will focus on the following stories :

Three Billy Goats Gruff

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Each Peach, Pear Plum

Happy to be me!

They will have the opportunities to recognise familiar characters and join in with repeated refrains. 

 

During our weekly phonics sessions, we will play many games that will help your child to discriminate between different sounds that they hear (Environmental sounds, instrumental sounds and Body Percussion). It is important that your child has plenty of experience listening to and joining in with nursery rhymes, stories and poems.

 

During our weekly Maths sessions, we will practise identifying, matching and sorting a range of colours, size and shapes. We will begin to use Stem sentences to explain our reasoning e.g. ‘it matches because they are both two’, ‘it is smaller than mummy’s bowl’.

Our weekly Problem solving sessions involve simple (but meaningful) number problems, explored through games and songs. These sessions involve rehearsing numbers 1-10 by singing Number rhymes. We count each object with 1:1 correspondence and explore the number order principle and cardinal principle (final number said for a set of objects). We add 1 more using familiar objects and songs. We will sing '1 potato, 2 potato', '10 marching teddies', '10 little fingers and 10 little toes', 5 Little Pumpkins'. 

 

Please visit NCETM for more information on the different principles of counting. 

 

Reading and sharing stories

We will share many stories and rhymes with your child each week, reading one on one, in small groups and all together at home times.

Our home time stories will be -

Toddle Waddle, Wow! Said the Owl, All Are Welcome, Hello Autumn, The Very Last Leaf, Huffkin, and The Best Diwali Ever!

 

In addition, we will of course be enjoying so much more learning through play!
