Adventurers Curriculum Outline Term 1
Hello,
This term, in The Adventurers, we have been focussing on settling into our new class, forming positive relationships with peers and adults alike and, working on our class rules and routines. The children have all settled very well and are making excellent progress.
In Health and Wellbeing, we have been working on emotions using the story ‘The Colour Monster’. The children can all discuss the emotion colours and can consider strategies to help them when they feel sad or angry.
In Numeracy, the children have been working on number recognition and formation, copying and creating repeated patterns and, some have even been working on telling the time on an analogue clock. Excellent work!
In Literacy, we have been working hard on our pencil control – exploring mark making and trying our best to improve our handwriting. We have been enjoying visits to our school library where we have the opportunity to relax and explore different texts.
This term, our topic has been ‘Harvest’. The children have learned about the Harvest process, why this is celebrated, when this is celebrated and about work on the farm. This topic has been enjoyed by all.
I am very proud of all of the children for their excellent efforts throughout term 1!
Mrs Preiss
Adventurers Curriculum Outline Term 2 23.24
We had had a very busy and exciting term 2. We are all so proud of the children as they performed so well during our Supported Learning Christmas Show!
In Health & Wellbeing, we have been working on identifying emotions and utilising regulation strategies that will best support ourselves and others during challenging times.
We have been working very hard in Numeracy. Some groups have been developing their division skills as they share sets of objects equally. Others, have been working on subitising regular and irregular patterns and identifying missing numbers within a sequence.
In Literacy, we have been enjoying exploring a range of texts linked to our topic. We borrowed books from North Ayrshire’s PLA which allowed us to explore both fiction and non-fiction texts.
This term, our topic has been ‘People Who Help Us’. We have had lots of fun learning about the roles of different emergency service workers and people who help us within our local communities.

Happy New Year!
It has been lovely welcoming the children back from their Christmas break.
This month, we have enjoyed a range of learning experiences as part of our new topic – Weather. We have taken part in Science experiments, completed beautiful pieces of art and enjoyed Outdoor Learning opportunities.
We were lucky enough to experience a Burns Supper where we explored and tasted a range of Scottish foods. We learned all about Robert Burns and investigated some Scottish traditions such as tartan patterns, the myth of the Loch Ness Monster and the bagpipes.
We have all completed our Literacy, Numeracy and HWB targets for term 2 and are looking forward to developing further skills as our new targets are set.
March
It has been a busy month in The Adventurers.
In Literacy, some children have been working on mark making and letter formation while others have been focussing on writing detailed sentences using Colourful Semantics visuals. All children are making excellent progress.
In Numeracy, some groups have been naming, identifying and categorising 2D shapes and 3D objects based on their properties. We can name a variety of shapes and list their properties such as faces, edges and vertices.
In order to support our emotional regulation, we have been delving into ‘Zones of Regulation’ where we colour code emotions and learn effective tools to help us regulate.
We continue to enjoy learning within the Expressive Arts – exploring musical instruments, taking part in Art activities and developing Drama skills.
We have had lots of fun taking part in topical learning and school events such as our Easter themed Open Afternoon and Splash the Teacher for Cash for Kids.
