Foundation Class

Welcome to Foundation!

Welcome to our class page! There are twenty-one children in Foundation and four adults in our class. Our class teacher is Miss Mohomed-Hossen and our teaching assistants are Mrs Roy (Monday to Wednesday), Miss Butler (Thursday to Friday) and Mrs Clarke (Monday to Friday).

Please visit our page regularly to see what we are up to!

Our Christian value this term is respect.

PE

Our PE lesson this term will be on Friday mornings where the children will work on developing their moving and handling skills.

Outdoor Learning

Everyday the children participate in outdoor learning where they have the opportunity to discover, experiment, learn about and connect to the natural world, as well as engage in a variety of outdoor and adventure activities. We recommend that the children keep a pair of wellies (or old trainers) and a waterproof jacket in school, as well as a pair of joggers, tracksuit bottoms, leggings or waterproof bottoms which they can slip on before going outside to keep themselves dry and warm. Also the children are more than welcome to keep a spare set of clothes in school in case they become muddy or wet whilst having fun with the capacity activities in the water tray, playing with the mud kitchen or building a bug hotel!

Our stars of the week are: Paris and Riley!

Our dojo winner is: Sonny!
