Tadpoles 2023 - 2024

Spring 2

Welcome to Tadpoles!

In Tadpoles we focus on learning through play, having lots of fun, singing lots of songs, and doing our best!

‘Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.’ Joseph Chilton Pearce

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

This half term we will be learning about animals and their habitats: pets and vets, jungle animals, crocodiles, birds and owls, farms and under the sea.

We will also be learning all about Easter including the Easter story.

We will get creative doing lots of different arts and crafts.

The children will play listening games and go on listening walks to help them develop the phonological awareness.

    We will sing lots of nursery rhymes, each week there will be a rhyme of the week.

In order to develop our little hands and fine motor control, we will get funky and move in time to the music using playdough.

In Maths, the children will be looking at linking numerals with amounts, positional language, size ordering, patterns and counting.

We have P.E. on Monday morning and on Fridays we have yoga (This is something the children really enjoy).

Every morning, we sing our favourite ‘Good Morning’ song.  If you would like to practise at home, then please follow the link.
