Week beginning 22/9/14

RE

We will talk about our special family welcome Mass celebrated on Sunday. As part of our Creation theme we will focus on ourselves, how God made us unique and how we learn about the world about us. This week are going to talk about how we use our hands in different ways and how we do good deeds using our hands. We will share our ideas in circle time, talk about the Wednesday Word and take part in a prayer service. We will talk about the Autumn changes we can see.

Communication, language and literacy

The Oxford Reading Tree characters are our focus for speaking, reading and writing this week. We will talk about Kipper’s family, how they are different and the fun they have. We will listen to the sounds we can hear in words, playing games and puzzles.
We are going to learn how to hold our pencil correctly and form letters.

Mathematics

We will count lots of different objects and match the numeral with the set – through play and songs. We will play with 2D and 3D shapes talking about their properties and comparing them.

Physical Development

We will develop our fine motor skills through threading, cutting and drawing. The large wheeled toys will be explored and during PE we will practise getting dressed and undressed, moving, stopping and finding a space.

Understanding the world/Expressive arts and design.

We are going to make leaf rubbings and prints using the autumn colours and leaves we have collected. We will draw and paint pictures of ourselves and Kipper’s family. Our role play area will be Kipper’s House and we can pretend to be in Kipper’s family. In music we will use Music Express and Charanga music resources, experimenting with our voices and percussion instruments. We join Key Stage One for singing on Wednesdays.
