Down At The Bottom Of The Garden & Brilliant Buildings

This learning overview provides an insight into the children’s learning experiences at the end of their Reception Year. The learning opportunities will also continue to be enhanced as children build up their own unique experiences and share ideas with their friends, as is the ethos of the EYFS. Through the continuous provision, children are given lots of opportunities for child-initiated investigation and play. This approach allows children to discover and test new things independently, consolidate new learning and gain a deeper understanding. This approach, we believe, helps them to become more independent through the Characteristics of Effective Learning that we are promoting: Playing and Exploring, Active Learning, Creative and Thinking Critically

PE

As sports people, we will be participating in a variety of track and field events and working in a competitive environment. We will focus on running in an individual track and staying in our own lane. In addition, we will explore the basic skills of striking a ball and improving on our hand-eye coordination. We will focus on how to hold a cricket bat correctly and standing with the correct stance.

Music

As musicians, we will sing songs and make up our own music about the sea. We will respond to music through movement and think about how it makes us feel. We will explore patterns in music.
