Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception Classes) Learning Narrative – Summer Term 2019: Splish, Splash, Splosh
The children arrive at school to find a series of clues. They follow a map which leads them to a chest full of treasure and a beautiful mermaid!
And so begins their underwater adventure, exploring the world of pirates and mermaids, and learning about the creatures that live in our seas.
The topic will finish with a trip to the beach, where perhaps we might find the pirate who lost his treasure chest!
At White Meadows Primary we use the Read Write Inc. phonics programme across both Key Stages up to Year 3. This phonics scheme provides a systematic approach to literacy, both reading and writing, which is fun and engaging. This is supplemented with the use of phonetically decodable books from Oxford Reading Tree and the Phonic Bug schemes, along with a range of other texts. Further details on how you can support your child can be found on the Read Write Inc. website.
In addition to the above programme, we also use the Big Write and Big Maths schemes and Little Big Maths in Foundation Stage.
Parents are welcome to approach class teachers to find out more about the curriculum at White Meadows. The following links give more details of the Early Years and National Curriculum.
