Our topic over the next half term is called ‘It’s good to be me’. To begin the Autumn term, we think about ourselves. From this we explore our new beginnings in school and learn about the people in our class as we develop new friendships. We build on self-confidence as we get to know each other and understand how to manage our feelings and behaviour in the school environment. We then talk about and draw our   families. We learn that all families are different and use books such as the ‘The Large Family’ by Jill Murphy and ‘Living With Mum and Living With Dad’ by Melanie Walsh. Through our exploration of families, we will begin to realise that there are different countries in the world with different homes and we will investigate these different types of homes. After this, we begin to think about people who help us; doctors, police, postmen/women etc. and what we would like to do when we grow up. To finish our ‘It’s good to be me!’ topic, we learn about transport and vehicles and the different ways we can travel.
