Foundation Class Update
This week in Foundation, we have been busy recapping all of our phonics sounds and having a go at writing some truly amazing sentences. I am so impressed with the children’s effort—they should all feel very proud of what they have achieved!
We also completed our special writing project: creating a book for Ted. The finished book is now on display, and we are hoping that next week the children will have the chance to share their work by reading it to some of the Year 6 pupils.
In reading, we explored the story of The Gingerbread Man. We learnt lots of new vocabulary, including delicious, pursue, sprint, mixture, ingredients, aroma, and journey. The children enjoyed using these new words and talking about the story in detail.
In maths, we have been learning about squares and rectangles—thinking carefully about what is the same and what is different about each shape. We also continued practising our number bonds to 5, and the progress the children are making is fantastic.
With Christmas approaching, the classroom has been full of creativity! The children have already made wreaths, reindeers, and snowmen, and we have been learning about the Nativity too. They have worked incredibly hard and shown great enthusiasm in everything we’ve done.
They all deserve a wonderful weekend—see you on Monday!
