Well done to all the children who received awards today.
Lots of children showing the values of our school and making the right choices.
FS 2
Welcome to Foundation Stage!
Here is you where can find everything that you need to know about Foundation Stage and have a look at what we have been learning.
Who are we?
Our Foundation Stage Teacher is Miss Hines, and our teaching assistant is Mrs Land.
P.E.
Our PE session is on a Thursday afternoon beginning after October half term. On this day your child can come to school in a PE kit and trainers.
For health and safety reasons your child should not wear jewellery on these days, especially earrings.
Reading
Please spend time reading with your child every day. Our Phonics program that we follow in school is Read, Write, Inc.
We love to read and spend time reading to and listening to your children read in school every day. Your child’s Read, Write, Inc. reading book is specifically linked to the phonics that they are currently learning in school. Please make sure that they bring their reading book and reading record to school each day so we can read with them.
On a Friday, your child’s library book will be changed. These are books to promote a love of reading, which have an age-appropriate content, but will need reading to your child. Once your child has learnt enough new sounds during phonics, they will bring home a Read, Write Inc. phonics reading book that we have shared with them in school every Friday. These will be changed every Friday so please ensure they are in school on this day.
Everyday
Each day your child needs to bring; a water bottle full of water only, a bag with some spare clothes in for just in case, and finally, sun hats, sun cream or hats and gloves and warm coats depending on the weather.
If you have any questions about anything at all, then please do not hesitate to ask any of the Foundation Stage staff, who are more than happy to help on any matter big or small!
