Beach Class Autumn 2

We have had a busy Autumn 2 half term and our learning themes have included cold climates, lots of work on friendships and team work and developing our understanding of personal space and emotions.  We have been delighted to see the children begin to use their phonics to write captions and to retell stories to each other.  In our number work we have been learning to subitise, order numbers to 10 and count an amount with 1:1 correspondence.  We have been playing a range of number games together, not only to build our turn taking skills but also to help us practice applying our number skills.

In the lead up to Christmas we joined with Key Stage 1 and Pre-School to perform our nativity, Little Blue Star.  We also enjoyed writing and posting letters to Santa and making decorations for our special tree at All Saints Christmas Tree Festival.

We will be sure to recharge our batteries over the Christmas break for another busy half term in January.  We are always excited to see where the children will take our learning next as our themes are always closely linked to the children’s current interests.

Beach Class First Week of School

Our new starters have arrived at Beach Class this week showing great excitement, independence and resilience. It has been wonderful to spend time with the children as we settle them into school life and their new school community.
This half term we will be working hard to develop relationships within our class, encouraging new and existing friendships. This will, in part, be underpinned by introducing the children to our Conscious Community and School Values. As we play alongside our children and talk with them, we will shape our learning themes within class to meet their interests. Watch this space for some photos of our first few weeks in class.
