Athletics – over the first five weeks of the term, we will be learning some aspects of athletics in preparation for our Year 1/2 Athletics Display on Friday 19th Nov, in Week 5. Children need to have appropriate PE clothing each Friday.
Swimming - will commence later in the term weather permitting.
Literacy
Throughout the term, we will continue to work on early literacy acquisition skills through Barbara Brann’s Casey the Caterpillar shapes and letter formation, Yolanda Soryl’s phonics programme, and the Early Words. We will use these new skills and knowledge to explore a range of shared books and poems. As children become ‘literacy ready’ they will join the Guided Reading and Writing Programme’s.
