Reception - Term 2

23/10/2020

 
This term our unit of inquiry is ‘Weather can affect people and places’.  The children will be following different lines of inquiry to help us discover:
  • What are the different types of weather?
  • How does the weather change?
  • How do people prepare for the weather?
Our unit of inquiry will begin by identifying the different types of weather and how they are different. We will be learning to observe the weather and how it can change throughout the day or over time. We will also be talking about the different types of clothes we wear for the different types of weather and why.
Our core texts this term are ‘After the Storm’, ‘Jack Frost’ and ‘The Snowman’. We will be looking closely at the effects the weather has on the environment and to the people and animals that live there. We will talk about the ways people prepare for weather such as floods.
In phonics we will be continuing to look at the phase 2 phonemes (single sounds) and then we will be revising all the sounds we have learnt so far. We will also continue to practise our segmenting and blending skills to help us read and write simple words and phrases using our sounds. This term we will start to look at phase 2 tricky words which we cannot use our sounds for e.g ‘he’ ‘my’ and ‘go’.
In maths this term, we will continue to develop our understanding of numerals to 10 and how to form each numeral correctly. We will also be learning how to sort into groups, estimate and how to sequence our day by making our own jam sandwiches!
You might like to join in our learning by…
  • Talking about your favourite type of weather and why?
  • Talking to your child about the clothes they will be wearing that day and link it to the weather.
  • Going puddle jumping next time it rains! Thinking about what words you could use to describe the puddles? What sounds can you hear when you jump in them?
  • Making your own wind chimes.
  • Learning the order of the colours of the rainbow.
  • Making your own weather chart and recording the weather over a week or few weeks to see which weather we have the most or least at this time of year.
  • Signing songs involving different weathers.
  • Designing your own coat to keep you warm in the snow.
