Tadpoles 2023 - 2024

Autumn 1

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

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

Our topic this half term is ‘All About Me‘.  This gives the children a chance to tell us about themselves, their family, their likes, dislikes etc.  We will start to learn our Set 1 sounds (m, a, s, d, t, p, i, n).  We will sing nursery rhymes, choosing a different one each 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, we will focus on finger numbers to 5, counting past 5 as well as looking at and arranging things in patterns.

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