Autumn Term
Autumn Term 2022
Our Vehicle for this half term is
'Marvellous Me!'
Through this curriculum driver we will be learning about God's creation, our families and ourselves. We will produce an Autumn Art Gallery to show off all of our creations about ourselves.
We will spend time getting to know each other and making friends. We will look at what makes us special and unique, and we will celebrate the similarities and differences between ourselves and our friends. We learn about our own emotions, our senses and our bodies, and how amazing we all are! As we are all so special we need to make sure we can take care of ourselves, this will involve talking about healthy eating and physical exercise.
There are lots of books to read in our book corner about ourselves and our families, and we will make a special time to share these books with each other. We will look at our houses and where we live, and we will have lots of opportunities to be creative, making models and drawing pictures of our families and friends.
Here is a summary of all the other things we will be learning about in Reception over the next few weeks.

In our R.E. lessons we will be learning about the story of creation, drawing pictures and writing captions about the story. We will also create our own prayers and learn about the Bible, which is God's book.
