It has been lovely to see so many keen faces coming back this term after our Christmas break. We have started our new topic 'Land, Sea, Sky' where we are learning about the world around us. We started with reading 'Handa's Surprise' which has been great for talking about another country and looking at similarities and differences between places as well as talking about different fruits and our preferences.
In our shared area we have our tricky words displayed - these are the words we have been learning in phonics and we can add to the board as the year goes on.
We have also been looking at how things have changed as the year has gone on and the seasons are changing. We can look at that display to remind us of the things we have already done and we can see how the seasons affect our outdoor area as we compare the photographs throughout the year.
In maths, we are doing a lot of work on subitising and careful counting using a range of different resources.
Some of our new role play areas for the term include a 'seaside', an 'underwater cave', a 'safari' and a 'pirate ship'.
Each class now has their own set of blocks that can be accessed every day as part of the continuous provision - it has been great to see some of the ideas the children have had with their building. It has also helped to develop our sharing and teamwork skills.
