Wren Chicks Class - Pre-school
Hello and welcome to Wren Chicks Class. Our teachers are Mrs Pickess and Miss Hunt
In our class we learn through play following the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Underpinning all our learning sit the Characteristics of Effective Learning: Playing and Exploring, Active Learning and Creating and Thinking Critically. With these at our foundation we aim towards becoming effective independent learners.
Our learning journey begins with a focus on the Prime Areas of development: Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. As we develop and our journey progresses, greater emphasis is put on the Specific Areas of learning: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding The World and Expressive Arts and Design. During our time in Wren Class we move from taking our first teetering, brave steps into school, towards becoming confident learners ready to move onward into our Reception Year.
This half term we will start off by getting to know each other and focusing on the topic 'All About Me'! We will be talking about what makes us each different, individual and unique and having fun making self portraits and mini me's to use in our play. Following this, we will be looking at 'Weather' following the long hot summer we've just had! We will be looking and learning about the 4 different seasons, the weather conditions in other countries, the different weather conditions in this country, making lots of weather crafts and even some weather related experiments.
