Our topic this half term is:   

                  Sunshine and Sunflowers    /    Shadows and Reflections

During this term the children will be learning about how things grow. We will be planting our own sunflower seeds and various herbs. The children will become outdoor explorers finding various signs of growth and searching for mini beasts. We will also complete a  mini topic on shadows and reflections creating shadows puppets and shadow drawings.

In phonics, we will be segmenting and blending and starting our  RWI programme. In Maths, the children will learn about size and measuring by recording their own heights and and the growth fo their sunflowers.

In PE in the children will be working with a specialist to develop skills of  throwing , catching, aiming and kicking.

Home Learning:

MiniMash: Children are encouraged to explore MiniMash at home as well as in the classroom, trying out different activities linked to learning across the curriculum. 
 

Home Learning Project: We encourage children to complete a home learning project linked to their curriculum project being studied with some help from their grown up, if needed. Home learning projects provide a fun and creative opportunity for children to practise and apply new skills, as well as express their knowledge in a topic area.
