Term 5: Who helps me?

Our enquiry this term is 'Who Helps Me?' We will be learning all about real life superheroe's and the people in our lives who help us to be happy and healthy. We will be learning all about various job roles from doctors to dentists and firefighters to police officers. We will be visited by our friends in the health sector and the emergency services. 

We will be exploring a variety of texts to enhance our learning including 'Supertato', 'There's A Superhero In My Book!', 'Superhero Like You', 'Real Superhero's'  and 'When Your Fast Asleep - Who Works At Night Time?.' We will be continuing to develop our listening skills using Phase 1 phonics. We will be focusing on initial sounds, name recognising and writing. We will also be encouraging meaningful mark making through our play, e.g. letters, cards etc. 

We will continue to master our foundation mathematic skills with a focus on positional language, more/fewer than, sequencing and 2D/3D shapes.
