What we are learning...

We have been planning our provision around the following books ‘Owl Babies, So Much and the Rama and Sita Story.’

In Communication, Language and Literacy the children have been learning to distinguish one sound from another, and also to give meaning to the marks they make as they draw and paint.

In Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy, the children have been learning to order numbers and to count and recognise numbers to 6 and beyond.

In Knowledge and Understanding of the World the children have been showing curiosity and interest in the feature of objects and living things and an interest in the lives of people familiar to them.

In Creative Development the children have been exploring colour and beginning to differentiate between colours. Moreover, they have been exploring texture and shape and learning to sing simple songs.

In Physical development the children have been learning to move freely with pleasure and confidence in
a variety of ways.
