Our Early Year Classes

Welcome back to the start of a new term - all raring to go! All students have settled back extremely well.  Across all areas of the curriculum we will be focussing on the students’ likes and dislikes and responding to information and questions.  Our English curriculum this term looks at Fairy Tales and relating these to personal experiences.   They will be identifying and describing likes and dislikes about familiar texts, objects, characters and events.  This gives us the opportunity to do lots of communication work with the students.  Mathematics concepts this term cover number and also shape where we will be identifying, exploring, recognising and sorting 2D and 3D shapes of student’s favourite things.    This is a great unit of work as we can explore these concepts in all areas across the school environment.  Science for Early Years looks at identifying the needs of an animal and making observations and comparisons between the parents and offspring of these.    Health and Physical Education will involve choice making, specifically refusing and rejecting using Aided Language Stimulation Boards in our Gym Gross Motor lessons and also our Music and Movement whole-sector lessons.   We also combine all three classes for Outdoor Learning – where we do a variety of rotational activities the students can select from. 

So, lots of fun and exciting work to be done.  If you have any questions, please feel free to write a comment in the diary or organise a meeting and we will do our best to address queries.
