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 the Cassatt class page of our school website.

The Year R team is Mrs Jacob and Mrs Taylor (Mondays), along with Mrs Henderson

Year R is a special year where we set the Foundation for the love of life long learning. You only have one childhood so let’s make it fun and memorable.

During the term we will be learning through play following several topics:

A Little Piece of Me ~ thinking about what the children like and dislike, helping them to become more confident and developing their sense of belong to the school. We will also be learning about what makes us all special and learning some well known nursery rhymes and fairy tale stories.

Super Structures ~ comparing different structures around the school and around the world, comparing different types of buildings and creating their own super structures.  

Walking Through the Jungle ~ where we will learn about different jungle animals and consider what it may be like to live in the jungle.   

A Christmas Cracker ~ all things Christmassy including the Nativity story, stories from around the world and lots of glitter!

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 learning through play, story, discussion, rhymes, music and in so many other ways.  We hope you enjoy hearing about them all from your child! 

The children in Cassatt have chosen a mini topic on minibeasts to take them up to half term.
