Foundation Class Update

Lots of learning and lots of fun this week in Foundation!

The children have been busy learning new sounds, writing fantastic sentences, and continuing to learn lots about the world around them. This week they have been practising the Set 3 sounds: aw, oi, ea, and ow. Please continue to practise these at home, alongside the Set 2 sounds and daily reading, as this really helps build their confidence and fluency.

In maths, the children have been learning about sharing and grouping. We talked about how when we share, we want to share equally so that everyone has the same amount. The children did a brilliant job exploring this through practical activities and games.

There has also been lots of excitement in the classroom as our class eggs arrived—we are hoping they will hatch into chicks very soon! At the same time, our class caterpillars have begun to form their cocoons, and the children cannot wait to see them transform into beautiful butterflies.

The children worked incredibly hard preparing for our Celebration Picnic on Thursday. They carefully designed and decorated their own biscuits, planned and made fruit kebabs, and finished their lovely Celebration Picnic books. It was such a wonderful afternoon, and it was fantastic to see so many of you there. Please check the photo page to see pictures from the picnic!

Have a wonderful half term, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
