Cassatt-Year R

Welcome to Cassatt - Year R!

In Cassatt class:

we are a team,

we respect each other

and we take risks.

Welcome to Cassatt’s class page.

The Cassatt team is made up of Mrs Watson (Monday to Wednesday), Mrs Jary (Wednesday to Friday), Mrs Kendall, Ms Upsher (1:1) and Mrs Costin (1:1).

This half term we will be starting a new ‘I wonder…’ line of enquiry thinking about what happens on a farm. We are very excited to be going on a class trip to Bucklebury Farm where we will be meeting lots of farm animals and finding out how a farm works.

We will be continuing to explore growth and changes as we find out about animal life cycles and think about how we have changed from being babies until now. We are going to plant seeds and watch them grow, thinking about what we can do to keep them healthy. In RE we are going to be thinking about special clothes and create links with Christianity and Hinduism. We will then be learning about the concept of water and associated rituals in Christianity and Hinduism.

We have a few special visitors planned for this half term to help us with our learning!

The Foundation Stage Curriculum is broken down into seven areas of learning – Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding of the World, Expressive Arts and Design and Physical Development. Over the term, the children will participate in all of these areas of learning through play, story, discussion, rhymes, music and in so many other ways. We hope you enjoy hearing about them all from your child!
