Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception Classes) Learning Narrative – Spring Term 2022

All Creatures Great and Small
A very large, red crate has arrived from the zoo, and there are some very mysterious noises coming from it! What could be inside? How will we look after it? The children will use a variety of stories, both old and new, to learn about different animals and how to look after them. Later, a very special delivery of eggs will arrive, and together we watch them hatch and grow!

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.
