Welcome to Gnome Class - Half Term 2! 

 

Our learning is topic based and child centred and we pride ourselves on our happy, caring learning environment, where children feel safe, valued and engaged. 

 

There are seven Areas of Learning and Development with the Early Years Curriculum. All Areas of Learning and Development are important and inter-connected. The Areas of Learning and Development are split into two categories: Prime areas and Specific areas.

 

The three Prime areas are particularly important for building children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving. They are:

  • Communication and Language
  • Physical Development
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development.

There are four Specific areas (which provide children with a broad curriculum and with opportunities to strengthen and apply the Prime areas). They are:

  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design

 


Our learning is topic based and child centred and we pride ourselves on our happy, caring learning environment, where children feel safe, valued and engaged. 

 

Our topic this half term is ‘Into the Woods’ but it also incorporates lots of learning about celebrations – there is so much to celebrate during these months! We will start our half term with learning centred around Little Glow – a book packed with learning opportunities about light and celebration. We will also learn about Remembrance day during week 1 and World Kindness Day during week 2.

 

We will learn about the parts of a tree and that there are two types of tree – evergreen and deciduous, about the different seasons and that time is a cycle, we have a display dedicated to this with all of the months and seasons on and each child is part of this with their photo and date on their birthday month. We will talk about when our birthdays are in the year.
