Welcome back Hardwick Class!
Before I tell you about the exciting things ahead for this term let me introduce myself. I am Libby, Hardwickโs new class teacher. I love being creative, exploring new places, spending time outdoors and getting stuck into hands-on activities. I cannot wait to get started with this termโs topic โBright Lights, Big Cityโ.
Through play and sensory experiences, we will discover what makes a city special. With a focus on London, we will be exploring the city and its famous landmarks. We will also delve into Londonโs history as we explore the Great Fire of London through a range of sensory activities.
Our learning doesnโt stop at London! We will explore our local community, through nature walks and play to recognise and experience the human and physical features all around us.
Sensory stories will bring our learning to life, as we follow the journey of The Town Mouse and Country Mouse. We will explore the contrasting environments of the busy town and peaceful countryside, and experience the sights, sounds and textures associated with each environment as the mice travel on their journey.
In maths we will develop our early number awareness through a range of number songs and sensory activities. Alongside this, through a range of multi-sensory activities we will explore a variety of objects to compare the different sizes.
Our daily task series programmes will continue, and we have lots of exciting events coming up from the Harvest Festival to Halloween.
If you have any questions at all please donโt hesitate to get in contact.
Best wishes,
Libby and the Hardwick Team
