Foundation Stage Weekly Update

Foundation have had a fun-filled week and have learnt so much!

In Phonics, we have been learning more special friends: qu, ng, and nk. The children have been trying incredibly hard with these tricky sounds, and we will continue to revisit them next week. We have also been practising our red words, focusing on learning them by sight.

In Maths, we have been looking closely at the numbers 4 and 5, exploring all the different ways we can make these numbers. We have also been recapping one more and practising our subitising skills.

The children have continued to enjoy learning about space, and many are working hard to remember all the planets in order! In art, we have been painting Starry Night pictures inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s famous artwork. The children have loved creating these and will see them proudly displayed on Monday — they should feel very proud of their work!

In RE, we began exploring Christmas traditions, talking about what we do with our families each year. The children really enjoyed sharing their own special celebrations. We also had some wonderful visitors who told us all about the Nativity, and we even got to meet Mary, some shepherds, a wise man, along with real sheep and donkeys!

Well done, Foundation! You have worked so hard this week.

Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Monday.
