Autumn Term

• In Maths we will be investigating numbers up to 5. We will work on counting forwards and backwards to and from 5, one more/one less, number bonds within 5, as well as 1:1 correspondence. We will introduce the language of addition and subtraction within 5. We will look at sorting and comparing quantities as well as introducing the language of time.
• Phonics – Level 1 recap - focussing on listening out for initial sounds in words and segmenting and blending CVC words. Level 2 learning 4 initial sounds per week and segmenting and blending for reading.
• Topics: Traditional Fairy Tales, contemporary rhyming stories for example Julia Donaldson and Festivals around the World. We keep these flexible as we will also be following the children’s interests. They will also have their own focus week each.

Within topics and child led areas of interest we will also be including a broad range of activities including: craft, cooking, science, the world around us, fine motor skills activities, dance and music, as well as other areas of learning provided through resources in continuous provision.
