EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE CURRICULUM WHICH COVERSSpring Term

During the spring term we have been learning about winter, traditional fairy tales, special celebrations and spring.

Winter
Traditional Fairy Tales
Special Celebration
Spring

As part of our winter learning the children enjoyed exploring winter colours, going on walks and getting dressed for winter.

During this topic we have explored the tales; The Gingerbread Man, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Through exploring these stories we have begun to make predictions, join in with stories and also learnt about characters and settings. We have made and decorated gingerbread men, built bridges and explored what Little Red Riding Hood carries in her basket.

This term we have celebrated; Chinese New Year, Pancake Day, Mother’s Day and the Hindu festival Holi. The children particularly enjoyed participating in the different colour activities as part of our Holi learning.

Most recently we have been learning about spring. We went on a walk to look for signs of spring, have explored spring colours and created bird feeders.
