Hello All!

It's now our Spring Term even though it's Winter time! We will be learning all about the Winter weather, finding out about hot and cold places in the world and looking at similarities and differences with animals that live in the woods compared to those that live in the polar regions. We will also be learning about old and new objects/toys, which will be very exciting! In English there will be more writing of CVC words, new sounds in phonics and hopefully better control with our pencils when writing. In maths we are trying to use as many maths vocabulary words as possible to help our language skills. In maths we will be practising sequencing time, knowing about numbers from 5-10 in depth and how things change in weight and size - and how we measure this! Happy days!

Autumn 2!

Hello everyone. This half term we will be learning about lots of things dark and light. We will look at nocturnal animals, how our seasons change at this time of year, the Earth and space, important celebrations like Remembrance Day, Diwali and Bonfire Night. We will be enjoying more singing and dancing and music appreciation as well as lots of work on counting to 5.

Autumn 1 - The Woods

We are learning about 'The Woods' this term and discovering which animals live in this habitat. We are learning the names of some common woodland animals such as squirrels, foxes and hedgehogs. We are also looking forward to our trip to an Arboretum to gain a woodland experience. Alongside this learning, we are focusing on our key text - 'We're going on a Bear Hunt.'  The children are enjoying taking part in retelling this story using our class story map. 

This term we are learning about our families, and talking about the important people in our lives. We will look at baby photos of the children and talk about how they have changed since they were a baby, and what they can do now.

Soon we will be looking for the signs of autumn and discussing leaves changing colour and falling from the trees.

How exciting!

Welcome to Foundation 2!

We are all very excited for the beginning of a new academic year and we are sure that your child’s time with us will be a very happy one.

Our main focus this half term is to have all the children happy and settled in their new classrooms and routines, and enjoying eating their lunches at school. Children will get to know their new teachers and friends, and exploring their environment. After assessments have taken place, children will be having daily phonics and maths sessions.

A reading book will be given to your child each week. Please watch the video clip below which gives you more information and explains how to record a reading session with your child at home.

Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat and a pair of wellies (both labelled with your child’s name). These can be left on your child’s peg. 

We have now started PE so it is essential that your child comes to school on their designated PE day in their PE kit. Please remember the School follows a no-jewellery policy during PE sessions. Staff are not allowed to remove children’s jewellery so this needs to be removed before they come to school.

Thank you,

Mrs K Patel
