Our learning journey in Summer comes as follows:
Weeks 1- 3- Our Talk for Writing book is: The Runaway Pancake- we will be exploring the story, making our own pancakes and practice our fine motor skills stamping the characters of the story into the dough. We will also explore line patterns helping the pancake to runaway!
In topic we will explore princesses and princes and explore St George's day as part of our history learning. We will go on educational visits to find the castle and the giant (Hale village)
Computing- building a robot! As part of our computing learning we will use "bee bots" designed as a pancake to further explore our story.
Week 4- our Happily Ever After journey will explore the tale of The Three little pigs, we will design different houses and compare them to the castle for the princess
as part of our PSHE/PSED learning we will explore different ways our body moves
Week 5 and 6- our next fairy story to explore is Cinderella! Exploring a wide range of textures linked to familiar stories creating objects from the story such as a pretty ball gown for Cinderella and her glass slipper
