EYFS Curriculum at Wales Primary
Summer 2: Farming
We cannot wait for our visit to Cannon Hall Farm this half term and learn about the important role of farming. We will discuss where food comes from, the benefits of eating fresh and healthy produce and how to care for animals and the environment.
Summer 1: The Enviromment
We have had an amazing first half of the Summer term. The children have enjoyed learning about different ways to look after the environment and planting seeds.
Spring 2: Journeys
We have throughly enjoyed finding out about each others journeys we have taken and way we have travelled. We thoroughly enjoyed our class text 'The Pirate's are Coming' and learning pirate themed songs.
Spring 1: Weather and Seasons
We have enjoyed going on a bird watch. We indentifed and named some common garden birds. We have learnt about the changing seasons and weather and how this affects the way we dress for each season.
All the staff in FS2 wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
Autumn 2: Celebrations
This half term learning will be based on the theme Celebrations. Please discuss special occasions you celebrate as a family and add some photos or pictures of family celebrations to your child's 'All About Me' book. Alternatively you can email photos to my contact email address given above. It would be really helpful if you could share your child's 1st birthday with a recent photo so we can compare and support your child to discuss how they have grown and changed over time.
Autumn 1: All About Me
The children's learning in class will be based on the theme 'All About Me.' The children will have the opportunity to talk about their friends, family and where they live. They will learn that they are unique and we will celebrate each others similarites and differences. Please remember to add pictures or photos of your family to your child's 'All About Me' book during the year to support your child during their discussions with the class. We can't wait to find all about your child, their family and interests!
