Spring 1:

Our topic this half term has been “The Circus”. We have been learning about circus animals, dressing up, eating circus style foods such as candy floss and popcorn. We have been matching parts of a clown face and making our own funny faces.  

We have had lots of different art activities on offer and the children have had the opportunity to decorate biscuits, taste different fruits and vegetables and made their own sandwiches during our cookery sessions.

Explorer 2 have again enjoyed weekly sessions at forest school exploring mud, water and extending their gross motor skills on balancing equipment.

We have had lots of fun in weekly music sessions and particularly enjoyed parachute fun. All children have engaged in weekly attention autism sessions and even moved on to stage 2.

Spring 2:

The topic is – ‘Claws, Paws and Whiskers’. We are looking at sorting, naming and recognising a range of animals. We will be studying the topic ‘number’ In maths and will be exploring a range of media surrounding our topic in English sessions. As always we will continue to work on all other skills such as mark making, fine motor control, cutting and personal social skills.
