Autumn 1
Our Learning in Autumn 1
In the Autumn term our theme is 'Identity'; as part of Autumn 1's learning we focus on 'identity' as part of a 'community'. We will read lots of books about starting school and what our Community looks like but our main focus texts will be The Colour Monster goes to School, You Choose and Our Class is a Family. The children will become very familiar with these stories and will bring them to life through a variety of different provision activities including role play. Through the use of these texts we will look at the communities we are part of and focus on the school community we have just joined. We discuss the people who help us in this community and meet many of staff we who will help us in the St Margaret's community.
In our other areas of learning we will also be learning to name different feelings and how our actions can effect others, we will be creating our class rules and learn about the correct behaviour choices in school. We look at different communities from around the World and use the text Around the World in a Bath tub to help us look at the lives of other children in different communities around the world.
