Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

This half term in Reception our theme is ‘Our Planet’. We will be exploring the Natural World.

We are making observations and drawing pictures of animals and plants. We are learning the names of the seven continents and finding out about some different animal habitats.

We will also learn about the Polar regions, the five oceans, and how some animals change as they grow. As part of our work on Past and Present, we will be using books and visiting Charnwood museum to learn about dinosaurs.

In our Phonics lessons we are learning the Phase 3 GPCs. We have been learning about alliteration, rhymes and syllables in our rhyme time sessions. We have been busy practising letter formations and segmenting to spell words. We are also working on writing short sentences.

In Maths, we have been exploring the composition of 0-5. We use patterns to help us subitise and work out 1 more and 1 less.  We also looked at 2D shapes – we enjoyed making repeating patterns and tangrams!

This term we will be comparing mass and exploring capacity. We dive deeper into 6, 7, and 8 and look at number patterns such as odd and even and doubles.

Our RE unit this term is called ‘From Galilee to Jerusalem’. We will be learning about how Jesus welcomes everyone and wants us to care for other people.  In our class worship we are learning to make the sign of the cross and to say some simple prayers.
