Journeys

During the Spring term we extend and consolidate our concepts, skills and knowledge across the curriculum especially in the key areas of literacy and numeracy. The increased maturity and self-awareness of the children enables us to do so through a variety of focused and integrated activities. The children work independently for more sustained periods and have increased self-regulation. They experience group work, where they learn to share ideas, compromise and collaborate with one another, developing greater social awareness, self-confidence and enthusiasm. As the term progresses, the work gathers momentum and ideas and creativity flow, giving us all that feel- good factor. We have used The Shopping Basket by John Burningham, as our literacy focus. To create story books, we have designed and made puppets and painted illustrations for the story.
