Foundation Class Update

It has been so lovely to have everyone back, and I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break!

The children have settled straight back into their learning and have really enjoyed starting our new topic, “Glorious Gardens.” This week, we have been learning about the parts of a flower and what plants need to grow. We have planted our own beans, placing them in the sunshine and watering them every day—hopefully we will start to see them grow very soon!

To help remember the parts of a flower, the children have been learning a fun song. Maybe they could show you at home:

We have also explored lots of different seeds and talked about how they grow into different plants.

In phonics, the children are doing a fantastic job securing their sounds and red words, and they have been practising writing their own sentences. It would be great if they could continue practising their sentence writing at home too.

In maths, we have been learning about teen numbers. The children are beginning to understand that teen numbers always start with a 1 because they have one ten and some ones. They are doing really well, and we will continue to practise this.

In PE, the children have been getting ready for Sports Day by running laps of the playground and timing themselves completing an obstacle course. They all showed great effort and determination!

It has been a fantastic first week back, and I hope everyone is feeling excited for the summer term ahead.
