In writing we will be writing about homes, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, labels on a plant, the life cycle of a hen and the story of The Little Red Hen. 

In our Creative Area we will create an African mask, use sponge painting to create a chick, and paint daffodils and minibeasts.

In R.E. we will learn about churches, mosques, synagogues and the festivals of Vaisakhi, Holi and Easter. 

In Music we will learn about pulse and tempo by copying simple rhythms on instruments.

Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the government document Development Matters - non-statutory guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

We deliver the curriculum through various schemes and topics. There is a list of topics we follow. These topics are flexible, as we will incorporate mini topics in accordance with national events and children's interests. 

We use Read Write Inc. (RWI) to teach the children to read and write. Please see our RWI page in the Parents section of the website for more information. 

Mathematics is taught through the White Rose Maths scheme. More details can be found on the Curriculum page in the Key Information section of the website. 

In addition to the activities described in our Personal and Social curriculum, we also teach PSHE through the Coram SCARF programme.
