Parrots - Foundation Stage 2 & Year 1
Welcome to Parrot Class
Story
Our Teachers
Our Teaching Assistants
Mrs Scotney is our class teacher. She loves making our learning fun and exciting! We also have two special friends in our class called Mr Parrot and Rosie. They help us with our learning but can sometimes cause mischief in our classroom! Mrs Scotney loves singing and dancing with us during our wake and shake sessions (although her singing isn't that great!) Her favourite author is Julia Donaldson and she has LOTS of her books which she enjoys reading to us.
Parrot Class is a Foundation 2/Year 1 class and we are all Superhero learners! We love a challenge and we always have a can do attitude. We always work as a team and help our friends when they need us. We enjoy our 'Rainbow Challenges' when we take charge of our own learning, deciding which challenges we want to complete first.
Our Learning this half term will be based around the topic of 'Food Glorious Food' In History/Past and Present we will be learning about Mr Cadbury and how how he created his chocolate empire all those years ago. In express Arts and Design we will help to set up our class home corner where children can use their imagination to recreate roles and experiences. Our outdoor role play area will be a Superhero Lair where we can dress up and pretend to be superheroes saving the day! We will also design and make our own superhero masks. The children will be working on their pencil skills to help them to draw a superhero version of themselves. We will also be making our own chocolate lollies with the help of a 'Chocolate Expert' who will be coming to visit us. In Computing we will be learning how to use the iPads and Chromebooks. During Music sessions, we will be following the Charanga Music scheme. We will listen and respond to different styles of music and explore and create (pulse, rhythm and pitch) using voices and instruments. In RE, the children will begin to appreciate their uniqueness and what makes them special. In PE we will be taking part in ABC fundamentals lessons with our sports coach which will help us master the key skills needed for our future P.E lessons. We also enjoy our daily dough disco and Yoga sessions to help us to develop our finger strength, balance and so-ordination and core strength.
In English this half term our special stories are Superkid, Supertato and Run, Veggies, Run. The children will design and make their own Supertato. They will draw themselves as a superhero and think about what their superpower would be. They will also be sorting healthy and non-healthy foods and thinking about what letter sounds they begin with. In our daily phonics sessions we will learn the Phase 2 & 3 letter sounds and how to blend and segment these sound in words.
We take a mastery approach to maths. Focusing on a number over two weeks to gain an in-depth knowledge and understanding of each number. We will be counting, recognising and ordering these numbers. We will also be finding numbers that are one more/less using practical resources to help us. Children will be learning to understand and use positional language. We will also be sequencing our daily routine.
In Science the children will learn about different foods and which ones we need to eat to keep us healthy. Also, how we need to exercise and have basic hygiene to stay healthy. They will learn about their own bodies and name the different parts. We will also learn about our 5 senses and carry out investigations to explore these.
Our Jigsaw theme is ‘Being Me in My World’. We will learn about different feelings and how to manage them to help us to self regulate. We will also learn how to work together as a team (e.g. listening to adults, tidying up, playing nicely with our friends).
Our British Value focus is Democracy. We will learn how to vote and debate our thoughts and ideas.
