Topic 2
Amazing Animals
During Topic 2, we will be exploring Amazing Animals! We will discover what makes something living or non-living, learn about a variety of animals and explore their different habitats. We will also compare our local environment with the Amazon Rainforest and African Savannah. Throughout our topic, we will enjoy a range of stories, including We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, Handa’s Surprise, Owl Babies and The Gruffalo.
Our Christian Value is: Consideration
| Literacy | You will learn how to read through our phonics scheme Essential Letters and Sounds. You will learn lots of new sounds and begin to blend sounds together to read. We will apply our phonic knowledge to our literacy lessons where we will practice writing initial sounds and short words. We will listen to lots of wonderful stories and retell them through story maps, sequencing and role play. |
