To see what we have been up to each month, please see our individual year group blogs to the right-hand side of this page :)
We have also attached our Intimate Care Policy to this page which explains our ‘intimate care’ arrangements. Where applicable, these will be discussed with parents/carers on a regular basis and recorded on the child’s intimate care record. The needs and wishes of children and parents will be taken into account wherever possible.
Autumn 2 - 'Celebrations'
We continue this Autumn term by exploring celebrations. Using what we have learnt so far about our classroom environment and staying safe, we will be completing adult-led activities related to our weekly celebration. These are Bonfire night, Remembrance day, Diwali, National nursery rhyme week and Christmas.
We have a weekly vocabulary focus related to that celebration and a range of activities each week for children to get fully emersed in that celebration. We will continue to build on children's independent skills, in particular, putting on their coats and doing up their zip as the weather gets colder.
Autumn 1 - 'New Beginnings'
To begin the year, we have a strong focus on learning new rules and routines. The children will learn about the indoor and outdoor environments; exploring the resources that live there, how we use them, and tidy them away.
We have a weekly focus on a familiar story, and use the book as a focus for our child-initiated provision. The children will explore making new friendships and understanding the daily timetable.
