Foundation Stage

Welcome to Foundation!

Hello all,

I hope you had a wonderful summer. I am looking forward to an amazing year with you!

In Foundation, children will be learning lots of new skills and knowledge, achieving their very best, ensuring they are ready for Key Stage One.

This term, we will be focussing our learning around the topic ‘This is me!’. Please find further information on the topic web below.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Mr Charlesworth

Information

Reading at home

We will be assigning a reading book each week which is aligned to our phonics programme.

It is recommended that the book is read 5 times a week and record this in your reading diary.

Repetition of books allows your child to develop their fluency and confidence when encountering graphemes and the 'harder to read and spell words' that they have learnt in school.

Additional books and sharing books from our library will also be sent home to supplement these.

Please make sure you bring your reading book and diary to school every day.

P.E.

P.E. kit can be brought into school on the first day of term and can be left in school for the half term. We generally have a designated day for P.E., but we like to have kits available at any time in case of extra sessions. Kits are kept on children's pegs. Please make sure all kit is labelled with your child’s name.

Please also ensure all uniform, including jumpers, coats and shoes are named. This includes water bottles and lunchboxes.

Homework

This will be sent home in your child's homework book each Friday and will consist of a Maths and a Phonics activity.

Please return the completed work by the following Wednesday.
