Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Reception!
Spring Term
During the Spring term we will explore 2 main topics. 'Once Upon a Time', where we will look at fairy tales such as Little Red riding Hood and Goldilocks and the three bears. Throughout this topic we will retell stories and look at the language, settings and characters of fairy tales. We will also explore ‘Amazing Animals’, where we will look at the lifecycle of different animals such as a butterfly and a chick. We will immerse the children in language rich texts like ‘The very hungry Caterpillar’. We will learn about how things grow and what various animals, including humans, need to survive.
Our first RE topic will be Galilee to Jerusalem, where we will learn about The Feeding of the 5000 & The Good Samaritan. We will look at ways we can show how we can be more like Jesus. Next we will look at Desert to Garden where we will explore Jesus entering Jerusalem, Palm Sunday and the Last Supper. We will also begin our Lenten journey.
We will learn about various other celebrations such as Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, Shrove Tuesday & Mother’s Day.
