This term our topic is Once upon a Starry Night!
Reception Autumn 2
We will be exploring the magic of stories, light and dark, and the exciting celebrations and traditions that take place during the autumn and winter months.
Through stories such as Funnybones, Owl Babies and Star in the Jar, the children will develop their love of reading, practise retelling and sequencing stories, and build their phonics, reading and writing skills. In mathematics, we will be counting, ordering and representing numbers to 10, exploring 2D and 3D shapes, and developing our understanding of measurement, positional language and early addition and subtraction.
We will also discover more about the world around us by learning about light and dark, colours and shadows, firework safety, and celebrations such as Advent and Christmas. The children will have lots of opportunities to get creative through painting, collage, music, dance and Christmas crafts, as well as exploring imaginative role-play areas such as a potion lab, a witch’s kitchen and a Bethlehem stable.
Alongside all this exciting learning, we will continue to develop the children’s confidence, independence and friendships, encouraging kindness, cooperation and respect for others. We look forward to a magical half term full of curiosity, creativity and wonderful learning experiences!
