During the year, the children will learn through either adult led tasks or child-initiated play.

 

Our topics will be:

Autumn 1: All about me

Autumn 2: Celebrations

Spring 1: People who help us

Spring 2: Traditional  and Fairy tales 

Summer 1: Superheroes 

Summer 2: Holidays

 

P.E will take place on Wednesday and Friday morning. We will also be having an extra P.E. session on a Monday morning, being delivered by the outside agency Sports Plus, during Autumn 1.

The children will not be changing for P.E. they will just be taking off their jumper or cardigan and changing into their pumps. 

If your child wears earrings, please can you ensure that they are taken out for the P.E. sessions.
