| Subject | | Curriculum Info/Class Ideas |
| Literacy | Please read with me, sing with me, highlight and point out logos and images I see regularly.
| We will be looking at our favourite books, singing our favourite songs and learning to listen to stories in whole class, small group and 1:1 sessions.
We will be starting our phonics sessions with some listening and attention activities, making sounds, finding out what is making a sound, exploring instruments etc. Some of us will be joining other classes within school for phonics sessions. If this is happening for your child Becky will let you know. We will go to the library every Wednesday to choose a library book and bring a reading book home to share.

| Maths | We can look at different amounts of objects together, talk to me about more, less, same and different. Have lots of fun with me using number in everyday situations, even when getting dressed! | We will be using the White Rose Maths programme in maths exploring less than, more than, looking at how many and learning to subitise – that’s when we look at an amount and can recognise how many is there without counting! |
| Personal development | You can look at photos of me and you together, or of my wider family and pets.
When I am showing different emotions you can help label them for me “I think you are feeling happy, I can see your smile”.
| Our main focus this half term is settling into our class, learning our routines and class rules and learning to learn by attending to and engaging in Attention Autism sessions.
We will be exploring our emotions looking at what happy and sad looks like, feels like and what things makes us happy and sad and what we can do when we feel these emotions.
We will also look at the theme of belonging and think about where we belong – at home, in our family and in Dolphins class at Woodfields school.
|
| The World | When we are out and about or in the car, talk to me about what we can see, the shops, the park or even the fire station!
You can show me photos of when I was a baby – look how much I’ve grown!
| We will be looking at the immediate world around us – where I live, who I live with, where I come to school, what is in my school and also what is in the immediate local community. We will also look at what I like, how I’ve grown and who is important to me.

| Expressive Arts
| We can build with empty boxes at home, who can make the tallest tower?
Listen to music at home, explore different music with me.
| Art – we will look at self-portraits, making our faces out of magazine pictures, and make some paper plate faces.
Music – we will do lots of singing using our choosing folder, listening to different music, joining in action songs (links to PE)
DT – we will be making models and houses out of bricks, loose parts and boxes.
|
| 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 start some movement to music, listening and joining in with or “Sticky kids” work outs. We will also be using the soft play and climbing apparatus in PE in the hall on Monday and every day we will have access to the ball pool and sensory enrichment input.
We will also have lots of opportunity throughout the day to work on and develop our fine motor skills.
