Spring 1 - Come Fly With Me

Monday 9th Feb - Friday 13th Feb

We would like to kindly remind parents that the school car park is reserved for authorised staff and visitors who have received prior permission from Mrs Bourner. We have had a number of near misses recently caused by cars pulling into the entrance of the school car park to drop off and then pulling out again onto the A4. The A4 is a very busy road, it is important to set a good example to the children so please park sensibly and walk over the footbridge. There is plenty of parking at the village hall and it is only a short 1-2 minute walk from kiss and drop. Thank you.

Phonics

This week we finished learning the Set 2 sounds air, ir, ou & oy. Next term we will be starting with recapping the Set 2 sounds and making sure the children are secure with these sounds. Please help you child by practicing these sounds at home.

Reading

For shared reading this week, we finished reading Little Red by Bethan Woollvin together. We talked about how Little Red is brave in the story and is not scared of anything. The children loved the bold pictures, which helped them understand the story. This book gave us a lovely opportunity to talk about being brave and feeling confident.

Writing 

This week, we finished our books 'All About Diwali'. We have focused on sentences that match our phonic knowledge and written these down including 'I can see a tray of food' and 'I can see a dress' to describe some things we might see when it is Diwali.

Maths

This week in Maths, we looked at length and capacity. The children measure things with none standard measure like blocks and string. We had lots of water play and rice play to explore capacity. 

Big Picture

 This week in Big Picture, our explorers finished traveling to India. We discovered famous buildings, traditional clothing, and animals. The children also recapped their learning of China with an assembly to the parents. All the children were amazing and were really brave to speak in front of the whole school and their parents. A big well done to all the children in Foundation.
