Storytellers Class - Reception

Learning this term

This term we are exploring themes including; growing and what plants need to grow. We will be planting our own beans and keeping a diary as they grow and seeing how tall our sunflower seeds will grow. We will look at the life cycle of a caterpillar and watch our own caterpillars transition through the different stages before we can release them as butterflies. We will have our class trip to Warleigh Lodge Farm where we will feed baby lambs, collect hen eggs and have a tractor ride. In literacy we will be learning the story "Handa's Surprise" and "Jaspers Beanstalk". We will learn the stories, sequence the main events and compose our own sentences based on the vocabulary used in the stories. We will look at the differences in where we live and where Handa lives and have our own VE Day celebration including the jam sandwiches that we will make. In numeracy we will explore 2D and 3D shapes, more complex patterns and we will start to look at number up to 20 and beyond.
