Our aim in Foundation is to support the children so that they:
Children need to bring to school every day a named water bottle, a hooded waterproof coat and their reading folder. Children have access to outdoor learning daily. They all need to keep a pair of wellies in school. On sunny days, children should come to school with sun cream already applied and with a named sun hat.
Children have phonics, maths and literacy/topic sessions daily, and weekly RE, PSED, art/DT and PE lessons. They take part in regular reading sessions, 1:1, and whole class shared reading. Children also have time to follow their own learning in outdoor and indoor provision.
On Wednesday it is PE and the children need to come to school already dressed in their PE uniform.
A Foundation newsletter is sent out via email every Friday.
Reading: Please read with your child at least five times a week. Their book will be changed when they can read it confidently and it has been read at home.
Big talk: Children are given a topic to discuss at home and are expected to come to school with a sentence to share about it.
Maths/Literacy: Practical maths activities are suggested to do at home that fit in with the current teaching, for example, hunting for numbers. Ideas to support learning in literacy are also offered.
Phonics: The newsletter will outline which phonemes and tricky words the children have learnt that week, those that they have learnt so far this year, and how their learning can be supported at home.
