Our Learning
For the first few weeks of the Autumn term we will be learning all about ourselves. We will
be learning about different body parts, how to take care of ourselves and the importance of
living a healthy lifestyle.

Our next topic will be Fairytales where we will be reading lots of traditional fairy tales. We
will use our role play area to dress up as our favourite characters, act out the stories and
making masks to add to our role play.

In maths we will be looking at counting to 10 and back to 0 and extending this further if
children are ready. We will be ordering numbers to 10 and beyond using lots of different
and exciting resources to help us.

In literacy we will be sequencing stories, writing our names and moving onto simple
sentences.

Autumn 2: Our topic will be witches and wizards, we will be linking this to festivals and the
use of light in celebrations, we will also be connecting this to Halloween and bonfire night.

Key skills for this term
Settling in to full time school
Writing our name
Becoming more independent
Communicating with our friends and adults
Counting forwards and backwards to 10
What parents can do to help
Support the school in encouraging your child to be independent. Support your child in their
school and home learning. Parents will be invited in to school for reading mornings, your
attendance at these will be valued. Please ensure your child comes to school on time and
with everything they will need (book bags, planners, PE kits). Throughout September our
focus is going to be reading; we would appreciate you sharing stories and books with your
children at home.
