Hummingbirds

Welcome to the Hummingbirds class.

Autumn Term - I am unique!

This term our theme is I am unique, with a history focus.

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children begin to learn that as they grow up they are increasingly able to do more things for themselves independently. This emerging knowledge and understanding can be used to explore crucial early historical skills. Many children within the EYFS will have younger/older siblings, who they will see being involved in activities at a different level. This can be used to extend children's learning and understanding of themselves and the world around them. By the time children are in Reception, they will be increasingly aware of the changes in routines during different times of the day and seasons of the year. These changes in time have an impact on what activities they can do (sleep, eat, play, home, holidays etc)., as well as what they wear and what they celebrate. This series of learning activities is aimed to bring together a number of key learning areas that are within the revised 2021 EYFS framework for one specific area: Understanding the World.

This term we will focus on three history enquiries that link to a number of prime and specific areas of the revised 2021 EYFS framework.

We will be learning about how we have changed since we were babies. We will discuss why we wear different clothes at different times of the year.

We will also discuss our favourite celebrations each year.
