Assalamu'alaikum warakhmatullahi wabarakatahu,
Welcome to our reception class here at ILM Primary School.
We aim to provide a wonderful learning environment for the children in the Foundation Phase, that is full of care, fun and excitement! We have many enjoyable activities, learning experiences and learn through a variety of exciting topics in reception class. We’ll be learning and memorising essential prophetic duaa’s and will be praying Dhuhr salaat in congregation on a daily basis, in sha Allah.
We are so excited to have you all on board!
Summer 1, 'Splish, splash, splosh!'
Drenched in summer terms learning! We'll learn about ocean life, from sharks to jelly fish and sand to coral! We'll have plenty of opportunities to play with language using rhythm and rhyme with our T4W story 'There's A Shark In The Park'. 'The Rainbow Fish' will encourage us to understand friendship and caring for others and our thoughts and feelings and looking at the perspective of others. 'Rambo And The Perils Of Plastic' story will allow us to take personal responsibility of looking after our environment and marine life. Our theme will also allow us to explore books about pirates and the beach. Shiver me timbers we have pirate stories too? - 'The Night Pirates' this sure will be hefty work, aargh!
In maths we'll explore verbal counting and number patterns to 20 and beyond. Addition and subtraction. Explore sharing and grouping and discuss if it's fair. Do all groups have the same amount? Discuss even and odd and talk about pairs. Whilst making potions in our outdoor water area we'll learn capacity and direct comparison more/less, we'll try our best to keep dry in-sha-Allah :)
We'll be investigating our outdoor literacy, maths, and investigation areas through a variety of fun activities, encouraging both independent and enriched learning. There's so much to discover and learn.
