Autumn Term 1:
Let's Explore
This project teaches children about the environments that they share with others, including their homes, school and places in the local community. The children will be exploring... their new school, their emotions, where they and others live, and the outdoors.
Key Texts
Our curriculum is centred around our love for reading and we have carefully chosen key texts that link with our topic each term.
These are the key texts for Let's Explore:
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
We're Going On A Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen
The Way I Feel by Janan Cain
In Every House, In Every Street by Jess Hitchman
Mr Gumpy's Outing by John Burningham
Pre-school children will be exploring the topic in different ways based on their age and activities will be differentiated appropriately. The topic overview below is linked to the Early Learning Goals, which are applicable to the Reception children in Willow Class.
