World Cup - Class 1

Item added: Friday, 11 June 2010

Over the next half term Class 1 will be following a theme about 'The World Cup'.

• Independence and interdependence: the children will be learning in groups and on their own. They will have the opportunity to learn about the country hosting the World Cup 2010, South Africa. They will learn about the other children in the class and some of their routines outside the classroom, compared to their own. They will be introduced to activities that develop new skills and develop their particular strengths, whilst working individually or in a team. They will also be working with other children in the school and thinking about their own learning.
• Communicating: the children will use language in a variety of contexts, using photos, pictures, books and the internet. They will be involved in mathematical activities, looking at shapes and numbers as well as using some of the processes of, art and craft.
• Exploring: throughout the unit, the children will learn from playing with materials, exploring actively with their senses and choosing their own materials. They will be sorting and classifying items. They will have opportunities to move in and explore space whilst learning to control their bodies.
• Healthy living: the children will have opportunities to make decisions, pay attention and to concentrate. They will be concentrating, throughout the unit, on ways they can keep themselves healthy through exercise and eating well.

As always, I welcome any support or suggestions that you may have.

Many thanks,
