I Can Fly! 

The Blue Penguin

Spring 1 Topics:
​
RE: 
Friendship and Special People 
​

Communication and Language: The children will continue developing speaking & listening skills through stories, songs and rhymes. They will develop their listening skills, responding and developing conversational skills. They will develop role-play, turn taking and sharing. They will begin to communicate their feelings and start to understand how their actions can affect others. They will discuss what it means to be a good friend.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development: As  their confidence grows, the children will continue to form special friendships. They will continue to learn all about a range of feelings and emotions during carpet times and circle times. There will be a an emphasis on following and understanding the importance of rules and routines such as tidy up time, lunchtime etc. Children will continue to understand and accept the needs of others in the classroom.

Physical Development:  The children will continue to develop their independence with toileting, putting their coats on and snack times. They will develop their gross and fine motor skills using a range of equipment and apparatus inside and outside the classroom. They will continue to develop their mark making and cutting skills.

Literacy:  The children will continue to develop their mark making skills. They will continue to practise writing the first letter of their name and begin to think about writing more/ all of the letters in their name. They should be able to communicate the meaning behind their mark makings to peers and adults. The children will continue to show interest in a range of books, using illustrations and storytelling language to re-tell these stories.

Numeracy: The children will continue exploring ABAB patterns. They will continue to subitise (recognise without counting) numbers up to 3 and look at numbers 3,4 and 5 in more depth.

Understanding the World:  The children will talk about the change in season to Winter using a wide range of vocabulary. They will understand their are different places in the world and they can be different to where they live here in Manchester e.g. The South Pole. 


Expressive Arts and Design:  
The children will continue to play imaginatively and develop storylines in their play. The children will begin to explore junk modelling joining different materials. They will continue to remember and recite entire songs.
