Is it a bird, is it a plane, no it is summer term!

Reception

This term will see Reception dive into the text 'Juniper Jupiter' by Lizzie Stuart as we learn all things Superheros.  

Alongside this we will explore the additional texts My Mum is a Supermum, George Saves the World by Lunchtime, and Superbat. 

In Maths we will be using number lines to count on and back to add and take away. We will continue our work on number bonds to ten and begin looking at doubling, halving, sharing and capacity.  

In our 'Understanding the World' units for this half term we will continue our theme of Superheros as we learn about the real-life Superheros who help us, from police, fire & rescure, paramedics and more.

Geography will see us travel the world as we learn about towns, cities, countries and continents both hot and cold.

In our Science topics we will be learning about our own bodies and what we are made of, and look at what happens to various materials when we mix them.  

For Expressive Arts and Design the children will be learning how to manipulate art materials to make their own Superheros.

We will be exploring musical structures and composing our own piece of music and PE will see us practice our track and multiskills.  

Reception will be continuing to build on their phonics knowledge as we move into Phase 4. Just 5 to 10 minutes reading a day can make a huge difference in your child’s schooling through early years and beyond. You can find lots more information to support learning at home in our home learning section. 

Nursery 

Our nursery children will enjoy and retell 'Superduck' 

In addition, they will enjoy a wide variety of texts as they develop their love of reading including Supertato, Nat Fantastic and Super Duper Me.

In Maths, number will continue to be explored through rhymes and stories and recognising numbers of significance. We will know that the last number counted tells us how many there are in total, be able to count verbally to say numbers in order from 1 to 10 or higher and learn how to look at a groups of objects and know how many there are.

In Understanding the World we will be learning about different occupations as we begin to know more about people who help us and naming our body parts: head, arms, hands, legs and feet, learning that butterflies come from an egg and observe the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly.  

In Expressive Arts and Design we will be listening attentively, moving to and talking about music, expressing our feelings and responses and joining different materials to create a picture. 

Forest school will see all of our children observe the changes across Summer, create Hapa Zome, go on treasure hunts, make mud pies, find minibeasts and make popcorn on the campfire.
