| Subject | | Curriculum Info/Class Ideas |
| Literacy | Please read with me, sing with me, highlight and point out logos and images I see regularly.
| This half term we will be looking at a variety of books linked to summer, holidays and the weather – especially the sun!
We will also recap some of our stories about seeds and growing such as Jaspers Beanstalk and look at the traditional tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.
|
| Maths | We can find things that are big and small when we are at home or out and about, we can find things that are tall, long and short, can we put them in order tallest to shortest? | We will be using the White Rose Maths programme and this half term we will recap grouping and sharing, numbers to 10 and measure – big, small, tall, long, and short.
We will use our 10’s frames to count seeds from different fruit, I wonder which fruit will have the most?
We will measure sunflowers and bean plants – if you have successfully grown yours at home please feel free to share these pictures on EfL for us to all see.
Using Jasper’s Beanstalk we will also look at time and days of the week.
|
| Personal Development | When I am showing different emotions you can help label them for me “I think you are feeling happy, I can see your smile”. | We will continue our class routines, with our Good Morning session where we can share our feelings with our talking tiles. We will continue our singing and story times and our active moving sessions. Our small group Attention Autism sessions have been very successful and enjoyable and we will continue these as this helps us with attending to all our other learning times.
We will continue to play and explore alongside each other building our friendships in class.
|
| The World | When we are out and about let’s pause and look around. What’s the weather - is the breeze warmer, can I feel the heat of the sun, and do I need sun cream on to keep my skin safe? Can I see signs of summer – butterflies, bee’s and birds. | This half term our topic will be summer and sunflowers. We will spend time looking at what summer is, what the weather may be like (hopefully warm and sunny!) and how we can look after ourselves in the sun – slip, slap, slop and sip!
We will also look at sunflowers, recapping some or our previous learning from spring looking at growing and the life cycle of a sunflower. We will also look at other seeds, comparing size and quantity (linking to maths).
|
| Expressive Arts | We can look at different flowers when at home in the garden or out and about, what shapes and colours can we see?
We can listen to different music is there anything new I like?
| Art – we will look at Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflower painting – looking at what we can see; shapes and colours etc. and have a go at creating our own versions. We will do lots of collage and may even have a go at still life drawing – drawing sunflowers and fruit by looking at what we can see and mark making to represent this.
Music – we will continue to practise starting and stopping in our music game and tapping to the beat. We will listen to different pieces of music that make us think of summer and start to think about how the music makes us feel.
|
| Physical Development | I have lots of energy, but I also need to learn to rest, this can be tricky for me but music, deep pressure and gently rocking and rolling can help. | We will continue to sing our circle songs as we are getting really good at doing these as a whole class. We will start to prepare for sports day; following tracks, running to an end point and listening to ready steady go!
We will have some relaxing music and use TacPac during the afternoons to help us relax and regulate as needed.
