Our Classroom
Term 1 and 2
Below is an outline of what we will be learning about over the term. The EYFS curriculum is a play-based curriculum where children learn through their own interests. As we observe the different things the reception children are interested in, we will plan opportunities within the classroom to enable them to explore their interests and develop them further through the 7 areas of learning. This means that the learning detailed below is just a starting point, there will be parts of this that they chose to take part in and parts that they do not, and they will engage in a wealth of additional activities as opportunities arise. You will be able to see some of the exciting additional learning that the receptions have engaged in through the weekly “Learning Snapshots” on Dojo.
Exploring the Wonders of Wildlife
In our Science curriculum, students will embark on an exciting journey to discover that all animals produce offspring that undergo growth and transformation, while also learning to recognise their distinctive names.
We will delve into the various habitats where animals reside, examining the suitability of these environments for their inhabitants, and understanding that habitats encompass both living and non-living elements. Children will identify living organisms by learning the seven life processes and will classify non-living things based on whether they have ever been alive or not.
Using observation sheets, they will carefully study the physical characteristics of plants and animals in a woodland habitat. Furthermore, the children will investigate how this particular environment meets the essential survival needs of its animal residents.
As part of their learning, your child will explore food chains and create their own representations of these chains within the woodland setting. They will also examine the various strategies that prey animals employ to evade predators, conducting an investigation into the fascinating world of animal camouflage.
Play Days, School Days
In our topic, "Play Days, School Days," we will explore the changes that have occurred within our living memory, as well as those in recent history. Our lessons will involve handling authentic artefacts, texts, and photographs, and we will welcome a guest speaker to share their childhood experiences with us. We will investigate how the toys we play with have evolved over time, before examining the toys that were popular during the Victorian era. Furthermore, the children will discover how childhood experiences varied significantly during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Purple Mash
A reminder that we have joined the Purple Mash community for teaching and learning computing and digital literacy. The children all have their own logins to access the games , activites and programs on the website, and they will be able to explain to you how it all works. If they have forgotten their login, we have a record of them and will be able to provide them to you! Click the picture to go to the login page.
