Tiggy-Winkle (YR) and Puddle-Duck (Y1) Class 2024 - 2025

Welcome to  Tiggy-Winkle and Puddle-Ducks' Class page

Term 2

Welcome back to Term 2, we all hope you had a lovely half term break. We are looking forward to another very busy term,  engaging in lots of new and  exciting learning opportunities. 

We also have the EYFS and KS1 Christmas Natvity on 12th December at 2pm in the school hall, so we will be busy learning lots of songs.

Reception children information

Throughout the year the children will be developing their skills and knowledge through the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. This is divided into two interconnected areas; the Prime and the Specific. The Prime areas of learning are Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development. The Specific areas of learning are Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and the Expressive Arts and Design.

Observing children’s interests is the basis for planning topic themes as this is how young children learn best, through activities that they can make sense of and be inspired by to be curious investigators. This is balanced with teacher directed  topic introductions, such as  celebrations, traditional tales, people who help us. This widens children’s knowledge of their own immediate world.
