Our topic for Summer 2 is: Our Senses

This term we will be exploring 'Our Senses'. By providing children with lots of opportunities to engage the five senses we can create fun learning opportunities to increase language and cognitive development. Sensory learning helps children to develop their thinking, problem-solving and memory skills. 

Each week we will have a key focus on one of the 5 different senses. 

Photos will be uploaded to Dojo every Friday to keep you updated with all our exciting learning.

Our topic for Summer 1 is: People who help us

This term we will be exploring the various people whose job it is to help us. This is an incredibly important topic to help our children begin to understand who can help when they have a problem.

We are expecting a visit from the fire service on Friday 9th May to help us understand a firefighter's role. 

                                            

Our topic for Spring 2 is: Seasons and Weather

This term we will be introducing the children to lots of activities which will help them to explore weather and seasons, which will help them to investigate the world around them. 

Learning about weather and seasons is a great way to teach children about the passage of time and change. It also teaches children repetitive patterns and teaches them that nature plays a huge part in our lives.

Our topic for Spring 1 is: Exploring Food 

We will be introducing the children to lots of different food and providing opportunities to interact with food through play. Lots of sorting, tasting, smelling, creating and growing will be happening!

Food play is really important and can help to build positive relationships with food and encourage children to try new flavours and textures.  There is a document below with food messy play ideas you can use at home.
