Nature Navigators - Reception

We are excited to welcome the summer term in Reception! This term is always a wonderful time for learning as the children continue to grow in confidence, independence and curiosity. Our learning will include lots of hands-on activities, outdoor exploration and opportunities for the children to develop their skills across all areas of the Early Years curriculum. Our focus this term will be Minibeasts. The children will explore the fascinating world of small creatures such as ladybirds, butterflies, worms and spiders. Through stories, outdoor investigations and creative activities, the children will learn about where minibeasts live, what they eat and why they are important in our environment. We will be encouraging the children to become little explorers by looking for minibeasts in our outdoor area, observing them closely and talking about what we notice. This topic will help develop their curiosity, observation skills and understanding of the natural world.
