Welcome to Foundation Class!

Mr Thrift - Class Teacher                                     

This week in Foundation, the children have been working incredibly hard and have had a fantastic time exploring lots of new learning!

In Phonics, we have been recapping some of our trickier special friend sounds: ng, nk, th, and qu. These sounds can be challenging, but the children have been doing amazingly well and have thoroughly enjoyed the fun games and activities we’ve been using to practise them. They have also begun writing their new class book, all about what Ted wants for Christmas, and have completed lots of other writing tasks throughout the week. Their writing skills are improving brilliantly — they should all be very proud!

In Maths, we have been exploring number composition, looking closely at how numbers are made up. The children even had a go at writing number sentences independently. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow, and they were very pleased with themselves when they successfully wrote their own equations.

As part of our Space topic, we created beautiful “stars in a jar” and learnt about nocturnal animals, making some fantastic artwork inspired by these creatures. The children loved discovering what animals come out at night!

In RE, we began looking at the Nativity story as we start preparing for Christmas — something the whole class seems very excited about!

It’s been a great week of learning, creativity, and enthusiasm.
Have a wonderful weekend, and see you all on Monday!
