ABC Easy as 1,2,3

Our topic this year is ABC Easy as 1, 2, 3. We plan to focus pupils learning around the key concepts:

Resilience, Happiness and Creativity.

In Nursery we are following the non-maintained curriculum, The curriculum recognises that every child is unique and that their development is rapid between birth and five years of age. Central to this curriculum are five key developmental pathways that are fundamental to the learning and development of all young children these are Belonging, Communication, Exploration, Physical Development and Well-being.

Talk for writing

This term our story is Tedi Twt. Every day we practice learning parts of the story using a text map and physical actions developed by our class. Every day we build on our knowledge of the story by learning the next sentence and over the term each individual becomes more confident at retelling the story orally.

"Children who are read to at home, or who come from an oral tradition of storytelling, embed such patterns without really knowing it, as if some form of linguistic osmosis was at work. At this early stage, it is significant that the child is ‘hearing’ the language. This matters because we learn language by hearing it and then by saying it. So, storytelling and rhyme chanting are powerful aspects of acquiring language patterns that might not be met in everyday talk." Pie Corbett 2008
