Welcome to Foundation Class!

Foundation Class:

It has been a fantastic week with foundation!

We have been reading through the ‘Growing story’ and learning some new vocabulary to go alongside the book. We have looked at the words and learnt actions for: Huge, miniature, temperature, clambered, ecstatic, transform, snug and squawking. We have also measured ourselves with a piece of string to see how much we will grow this year.

The children have been learning lots about each other for our topic ‘All about me’. We have drawn our pets if we have one or drawn a pet we would like and then written its name beside the picture. We have also had circle times where we have learnt what each others favourite food is and also that we need to be kind to our friends in our new class. They made puppets of each other as a fun craft which the children really enjoyed.

To get ready for phonics we have also been looking at the pictures that go with the set 1 sounds we will begin to learn starting next week. The children have been trying hard to hold pencils properly and have been practicing mark making with pens and pencils.

In maths this week we have been looking at matching, sorting and comparing. We have done lots of activities to see that things match because they are the same and also we can put things into groups and sets for different reasons such as colour, size or shape.

The children have also been having lots of fun with each other and have been playing nicely.

Have a great weekend.
