 PSHE

In Spring class, we aim to teach the children to identify their emotions and provide them with a range of strategies to help regulate their emotions and feelings. We have been looking at the Zones of Regulation and continue to focus on the use of four colours to help children identify how they are feeling. The children have also been learning different ways to manage their emotions, based on which colour zone they are in.

 In Phonics, we are working on Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4 (no new sounds) and Phase 5 in our class.We have daily phonics lessons to support the child’s phonetic knowledge, which consists of engaging activities for the children to participate in.

We will then look at animal habitats and learn about what an animal needs in a habitat and how these habitats vary depending on the animal and provide for the basic needs of an animal.
