Summer 2 - Under the Sea!

This half term, our Reception children will be diving into the exciting topic of Under the Sea. Through our key texts, Tiddler, The Rainbow Fish, The Blue Giant and the Storm Whale, we will explore the wonders of the ocean, learn about a variety of sea creatures and discuss themes such as friendship, kindness, imagination and caring for others. A key focus of our learning will be conservation, helping children to understand why our oceans are important, how pollution can affect marine life and the simple actions we can all take to help protect our environment. Through stories, creative activities, investigations and play, our children will develop their understanding of the world around them. 

We also have lots of exciting events to look forward to this half term. Families are warmly invited to join us for our Generation Picnic (Wednesday 17th June), where children and their special guests can enjoy biscuits, games and time together. We will also be taking part in Sports Day, celebrating teamwork, perseverance and fun. We are looking forward to a busy and memorable half term.

Through this topic, the children will be immersed in traditional tales, stories and non-fiction texts which celebrate living things, change and growth. They will have opportunities to develop their oracy and communication skills to retell stories and give instructions. They will use their phonic knowledge to write for a variety of purposes within provision. With opportunities for baking, children will measure and compare quantities. They will explore patterns and symmetry – supporting knowledge of doubling facts. The children will explore the natural world around them, and make observations about life cycles and growth. Observations of live caterpillars throughout the half term and a visit to The Butterfly Farm will bring learning to life. The children will consider their own growth story – how have they changed since they were babies?
