SRE Curriculum

This year we will continue to teach the children using materials from our new Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) scheme. This new edition of ‘Teaching SRE with Confidence in Primary Schools’ reflects the recent developments in SRE and the Science National Curriculum. This resource encourages children to develop the skills of listening, empathy, talking about feelings and relationships with families and friends.

 

All the lessons have a clear structure and are age appropriate. The lesson plans have clear aims and learning outcomes with suggested additional activities and accompanying resources:

 

Reception: Our Lives - 

Our Day

Keeping Ourselves Clean

What's going on in Goldcrest Class 2020/21?

W.B 12th October . Kitchen Disco week.

What a fun week we have had! We have read, chanted, made musical instruments of our own and used saucepans to make a drumming work shop. We have danced and boogied and written a poem together. We have drawn funky fruit and we have counted and matched numbers of fruit . We have "shaken our pips" and "wiggled our hips" and done the conga many times.  We have even painted with kitchen utensils like a potato masher and a whisk .What fun!

Wishing you all a lovely Autumnal weekend.

October 2nd We have had fun this week. Painting, ordering, playing, writing in role and mixing outside. The gingerbread man continues to be a focus and we have played with the salt dough biscuits that we made (we are finding raisins everywhere!) The children innovated a lovely story - we have sent it home to share. Our first wet playtime too.....

 

Have a lovely weekend, rest and relax.

2. What is going on in Goldcrest class in 2019/20?

Welcome to another new year in Reception! 

We are so excited to be starting in Goldcrest and we have had a fun few days exploring our new classroom.

We are looking forward to getting to know each other and to begin our new learning journey.

Goldcrest have enjoyed a gingerbread man themed week. We even made and ate our own gingerbread biscuits out in the meadow. 

Well! What  a lovely first term we have had. We have made lots of new friends , we have worked together to explore different stories and ideas, , we have enjoyed learning new sounds and digraphs in Phonics and we have been discovering different areas of learning inside and outside our classroom. We have finished with our Nativity story which we performed to all our grown ups. We have had so much fun!

Your class teacher will update this page at least once per term with photos and information on recent events or activities.
