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.

Information

Reading at home

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

It is expected that the book is read 5 times a week and recorded in your child's reading diary.

A new reading book will be issued each Friday. Please return the book by Thursday the following week. However, please make sure the reading book and diary are brought to school every day.

There is also an e-book available for your child to read. This will be available each Friday for a week. Please see your child's reading diary to access login details.

An additional book from our library will also be chosen by your child and this should be brought into school each 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 learning by the following Wednesday.
