Spring Term January - February 2026

This half term at Pippins our topic is Traditional Tales and Our Favourite Stories.

We will look at the tale of The Three Little Pigs, looking at the repeated refrains within the story and identify how the events in the story might make us feel. We will also look at some of the children's favourite stories including We're Going on a Bear Hunt and The Gruffalo.

We hope that the children will bring in their favourite stories to share with us and we can enjoy them together.

Spring Term February - April 2026

This half term at Pippins our topic is Spring, Food and Growing.

We will look at the changes we notice as the seasons change, enjoying lots of walks around our outside spaces looking for signs of spring. We will have the arrival of some caterpillars so we can watch as they grow and change into butterflies. We will look at the different sorts of food and talk about those which are good for us and those that should only be enjoyed in small amounts. We will plant seeds and care for them as they begin to grow, looking at how they change from a seed to a plant.
