Summer Term 2 ‘Under the Sea’

Following on from last term, where the children in Apple Class developed their story telling, we are moving onto something bigger!! The children have shown a real fascination with marine animals. We will learn about how diverse and wonderful our oceans are. What is lurking deep below the sea? Which marine animals have a story to tell? As well as learning about our oceans, we will also reflect upon personal experiences and consider what we can do to protect our seas and beaches from pollution, especially plastic pollution. Through stories, documentaries and information books, the children will delve deep into the mysterious oceans beneath our surface.

Please see weekly timetable for Apple Class. This is a general overview of the days throughout the week.

Cosy Time (Guided Reading) takes place in groups throughout the week.

Timetable is subject to change due to events, visits or trips taking place, or weather conditions (Mike’s Meadow).

Our Vision Statement for EYFS at Batheaston Church School

At Batheaston Church School we endeavour to promote a love of learning; where interests and talents are nurtured and challenged, empathy is fostered and friendships formed. A child entering Apple Class will embark on a creative, engaging learning adventure. Our environment is rich in first-hand experiences with time given to dream, aspire and achieve. Independence is encouraged and risk-taking is celebrated within safe and secure surroundings.

As a team we are passionate about the education of young children. Activities planned provide a wide range of opportunities to enable children to play, work, collaborate, apply skills learnt, test ideas and narrate their inner imaginings. We aim to build children’s academic, social and emotional well-being so that they can thrive both within our walls and the world beyond.
