Summer Term

Our topic for Summer 1 is… “Mad About Minibeasts”

This term, our topic is all about minibeasts! There are so many different insects and we can't wait to learn all about them! We will be learning about key features of different insects such as what colour they are, how many legs they have, if they can fly and where we might find them. Our topic books will help to support this learning. Some of our stories will include, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", "Superworm" and "Incy Wincy Spider".

Some of our activities this term will include, making lots of minibeast inspired pictures such as spiders, bees, ladybirds, snails and more! Other activities will also include are threading, cutting and sticking tasks, exploring slime and going on minibeast hunts! As part of our WOW Moment, we will be having a minibeast workshop come into school to visit us. This will give children the opportunity to see these creatures up close, have the chance to handle them and learn even more exciting facts about them!

Our Topic for Summer 2 is “The Great Outdoors”

For our final topic of the year, we are focussing all about the outdoors! We will be learning all about the world we live in such as the weather, nature and creatures in our environment, where we live and other countries there are in the world. We will be learning to say “Hello” in different languages such as French and Spanish. Each week the children will focus on a new book about different aspects of our world such as “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”, “Summer” and “The Tiny Seed”.

There are lots of exciting activities planned to support your child's learning such as, using cotton wool balls to paint rainbows, collecting leaves to make leaf prints and making a kite! Other activities this term will include, learning about the weather and matching items to the correct weather/season, talking about our similarities and differences and learning about plant care. FS0’s final WOW Moment of the year will be going on a visit to the local park!

 

Summer 2 Medium Term Planning will be available to view soon.
