Tadpoles 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Tadpoles!

In Tadpoles we focus on learning through play, having lots of fun, singing lots of songs, and doing our best!

‘Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.’ Joseph Chilton Pearce

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

This half term we will be focusing on Bonfire night, Children in Need, The Gingerbread Man, Christmas and Nativity.

We will get creative doing lots of different arts and crafts.

In December we will be practising our songs for our Christmas concert.

The children will play listening games and go on listening walks to help them develop the phonological awareness.

    We will sing lots of nursery rhymes, each week there will be a rhyme of the week.

In order to develop our little hands and fine motor control, we will get funky and move in time to the music using playdough.

Maths - Children will be learning to subitise to 3, explore 2D shapes, say one number for each item in order, and extend and create ABAB patterns.

The children will have P.E. on Monday afternoons.

Every morning, we sing our favourite ‘Good Morning’ song.  If you would like to practise at home, then please follow the link.
