 Take a look at our learning so far this Spring half term

The Three Billy Goat's Gruff

 

We have explored the characters within the story and recreated them using new techniques, learning to tear paper and use this to collage. We have even begun to sound like the characters too - responding to the key refrains of the text in different voices! We loveheart this story!

This topic has encouraged us to think about making healthy choices.  Our roleplay area has become the healthy café and we took away the unhealthy foods from the cupboards and put them into the sin bin! Foods high in sugar have been swapped for healthier natural alternatives.  This ties in wonderfully with the National Sugarsmart campaign. 

 

 

 

 

This week we have been looking at alternative versions of the story and learned a really catchy song! 

The children asked me to put some links to the youtube videos onto the website so they can show the people at home too!  What a great idea! 

We made 3D storyboards for retelling the story at home 🏡 - look how we can use the tools independently to create!

Jacob's Grandma popped by to tell us about Tiddlywinks, Mickey Mouse, Etch A Sketch and her yo-yo. She even let us play with them for the morning!

Going spotty for Children in Need 2018

Nursery had great fun with some extra squishy spots for Children in Need. We practised throwing and catching the balloons we blew up by ourselves! So much fun and such a great cause. Thank you to parents for getting your child in the spirit of all things Pudsey. We had some superb spotty and stripy outfits!

Catch!

Our Autumn Walk to the Nature Trail

Hooray For Fish!

Still image for this video
Nursery have explored the Lucy Cousins book 'Hooray for Fish' as their text for the first half term. The story allowed us to explore colour, size, pattern, feelings and attributes through creativity. The culmination of our efforts was celebrated when parents were invited to take a dive into our own aquarium and meet the fish from the story at our 'Night at the Museum' event.

Thank you for visiting our Aquarium!

A little more about our Curriculum

 

We are so glad you've found our class page. Thank you for taking the time to explore it. We learn best through play and every week is packed full of exciting learning opportunities which are irresistible! At St John's we are very proud of our Early Years children. 

 

 

In The Early Years Foundation Stage, the children follow a play-based curriculum that will provide them with the opportunities to

 

· Develop their confidence, independence and social interaction

· Encounter a range of new and exciting experiences, through the power of play

· Build upon the skills they have as they leave the home environment to start school

· Develop these skills as an individual

· Prepare for the next stage in their primary school education

 

Throughout the school day, the children will learn in a range of different ways. Through whole class focused group work, small group learning, adult-led activities, child-led activities and independent play.

 

Please find additional details about this academic year below.

If you would like any further information on The EYFS at St. John’s please do not hesitate to arrange a visit. We always enjoy welcoming new friends.
