Summer 2

Physical Development

We will continue with Outdoor Games on Thursdays. These sessions will focus on fundamental movement skills through games. We will also be getting ready for Sports Day. We will continue to develop our physical skills through our weekly ManCity sessions, which take place every Monday. Children should wear their PE kits to school on these days.

Communication and Language

This half term we will continue to develop our oracy skills as we learn to build on or challenge what somebody else says.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

We will be focussing on self-care as we learn about the importance of tooth brushing, healthy eating and good sleep. We will also support children in building independence,  confidence and key learning skills to help them feel ready and excited to transition into Year One!

Literacy
This half term we will be reading ‘The Hundred Decker Bus ’ by Mike Smith. We will use our phonics skills to label destinations on maps, add captions for the bus driver and write sentences about different vehicles. We will continue to focus on writing captions and sentences with increasing independence.

Maths

We will continue developing our confidence with numbers through fun, practical activities and games. We will focus on recognising numbers, counting accurately, comparing amounts, and exploring simple patterns and number relationships. We will also be learning about capacity.

Understanding the World
We will explore transport through stories, a local walk, map-making and discussions about old and new vehicles, helping us learn about our local area, recognise simple map symbols and compare transport from the past with  transport today.

Expressive Arts and Design
We will have lots of opportunities to practise and build on the creative skills we have learned this year, including drawing, painting, colour mixing and joining techniques. In Music, we will be building on our prior learning.
