Term 1 – Super Me 

Super Me Topic Web 

This term, our first topic is Super Me, where we will be getting to know ourselves, our classmates and our new school environment. As we settle into our new routines, we will focus on building positive relationships, developing independence and helping the children feel happy, safe and confident in their new classroom.

We will begin by exploring our emotions through the wonderful story The Colour Monster. The children will learn to recognise, name and talk about different feelings, as well as discover simple strategies to help manage their emotions. This will support them in developing emotional awareness and understanding how their feelings can affect themselves and others.

Later in the topic, we will read Supertato and celebrate what makes each of us special and unique. Through stories, discussions and creative activities, the children will explore their own strengths, talents and interests, learning that everyone has their own 'superpowers' and that kindness, resilience and helping others are just some of the ways we can all be superheroes every day.

How you can support your child's learning at home:

• Talk about different emotions and encourage your child to name how they are feeling throughout the day.
• Read stories together and discuss the characters' feelings and actions.
• Encourage your child to become more independent by practising routines such as putting on their coat, tidying away toys and washing their hands.
• Celebrate your child's unique strengths and encourage them to talk about what makes them special.
• Praise acts of kindness, perseverance and helpfulness, helping your child recognise the many ways they can be a "super" person.
