Foundation Stage Ethos

 In the foundation Stage we encourage children to make choices, problem solve and think critically.  Through continuous provision we encourage children to become independent learners and nurture their interests through enhancements within the environment.  Staff observe and record children’s achievements, and work together to ensure next steps are taken. We record the class's progress in a floor book to document all of our experiences and learning throughout the year. These are shared with children, parents and the senior leadership team.

Our Class Story:

We will read lots of different texts throughout this half term. 

We will focus on one story during Literacy. 

 We will be exploring The Little Red Hen, we will learn to tell the story using Talk for Writing, and then we will have a go at retelling the story using different characters! We will also look at non-fiction texts on how to make bread just like the little red hen, we will have a go at writing some instructions together before making bread together!

Reading at Home:

It is important that your child reads every evening with you at home. In your child’s book bag you will find:

§ a reading book suited to their reading ability

§ a home library book that you can read and enjoy with your child

§ a reading record to write in any progress or issues your child may have

It is expected that your child reads for 15 minutes 4 times a week at home. Reading this often will  ensure that child makes as much progress as possible.

You will also have weekly phonics homework with 4 letters on to practise. This will also contain work to support their blending and reading skills. 

Our PE day is Wednesday.

Please dress your child in their PE kits before coming to school. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather on these days, for example leggings/trousers instead of shorts on rainy days. Earrings and jewellery must be removed or taped at home for PE sessions – we are not allowed to remove them for your child. If they are not removed or taped , unfortunately your child will not be able to take part in PE that day.
