Autumn 1 2026

We have had a wonderful start to our school journey! We have been learning lots of school routines and building lots of relationships. We have been answering the big question: Who Am I? We have looked at the things that makes us who we are by talking about things that we like, things that we are good at, and described what we look like. We noticed that we are not all the same and that is what makes us who we are.

 

We have been developing our fine motor control through lots of activities around the classroom. We then had a go at using a pencil or paint brush in art to create wonderful self-portraits. We thought about the features of our face and body as we did this, looking in a mirror to help us identify individual features, such as our eye colour. 

In maths, we have looked at sharing and grouping, focusing on the shape, colour and size of different objects. We have also started our number learning, specifically focusing on securing our understanding of numbers to 3. We have been developing our ability to subitise through lots of practise activities.

We have started our weekly visits to the school library and love being able to choose a book to share at home with our grown ups.  We have had lots of fun settling into school and look forward to continuing our learning next half term!
