Tiger Cubs, Foundation Stage 1
Curriculum Statement
Welcome to Tiger Cubs!!!
Your teachers will be Mrs Burgin, Miss Highton and Mrs Hitchens
Our next topic is called…
Starry Night
In the Starry Night project, your child will explore the differences between the world at night time compared with daytime, through a range of exciting and creative activities. They will find out about nocturnal animals and how they find food when it is dark. They will find out about people who work at night and the different jobs that people do when we are asleep. They will discuss bedtime routines and the importance of a good night’s sleep. They will explore the night sky and find out about the Moon and stars.
Supporting your child at home
Look at the night sky and see how many stars you can see each night.
See how the Moon changes shape each night.
Go on a short walk after dark or go into the garden. Take a torch to light the way. Discuss how things look different in the dark.
Share and discuss the Did you know? resource.
As Foundation Stage 1 we will be singing lots of songs daily, especially nursery rhymes as this helps with our speech, sounds and awareness of rhyme and rhythm.
We will explore early counting with simple number songs and games.
We will enjoy all kinds of stories linked to our topic or simply ones that we like.
But most of all we will learn to play and learn together, build good friendships, begin to understand what makes us and others happy or sad, and work together to create a safe, happy and nurturing environment for us all.
Don’t forget to look out for photos we put on your child’s Dojo and please share experiences from home on there too. We love learning about the things the children enjoy out of school.
Did you know and Home learning documents.
