What an exciting half-term we have on our hands. This half-term our theme is Science and Technology - ‘Mini Scientists’. We are looking forward to carrying out many different experiments, and getting ready for Christmas, within this theme we will cover all AoLE’s through exploring and having many new experiences.
We start learning a letter a week during this half-term, starting with ‘m’. Each week we will have the opportunity to learn the letter sound, practising forming letters in a range of multi-sensory forms and gain an understanding of initial sounds. The letter sounds we will learn each week, ‘m, a, s, d, t, i, n’.
Some of the story starters for each week are:
Sparks in the Sky
Little Acorn
The Leaf Thief
Say Goodnight Spaceman
Zooming to the Moon
Santas Pants
Oh Christmas tree
The Nativity
We follow the Curriculum for Wales. The Curriculum for Wales promotes all learners to become ambitious, independent, ethically informed citizens who are healthy and confident. The Curriculum for Wales has 'Four Purposes' the curriculum is broad and balanced encapsulating learners of all ages and abilities.
The Four Purposes:
Ambitious, capable learners who are ready to learn throughout their lives.
Enterprising, creative contributors who are ready to play a full part in life and work.
Ethical, informed citizens who are ready to be citizens of Wales and the world.
Healthy, confident individuals who are ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.
We have six Areas of Learning Experiences (AoLE):
Language, Literacy and Communication
Mathematics and Numeracy
Health and Well-being
Expressive Arts
Science and Technology
Humanities
All of the above Areas of Learning are intertwined through one another, embedding all AoLE's for our learners to become independent and ready to learn.
In Nursery we incorporate learning our Rights into everything we do. We discuss our Rights and take part in many activities which promotes us learning and understanding our Rights. We are having lots of fun learning our Rights song at the moment.
