Foundation Class Update

What a fun and exciting week we have had in Foundation, all focused on sustainability!

This week we have been learning all about red kites and other birds of prey. We were lucky enough to take part in an amazing Birds of Prey Workshop, where the children got to see these incredible birds up close and learn lots of fascinating facts about them. The children absolutely loved the experience! Please check the website photo page to see some pictures from the workshop.

We have also been learning about bees and why they are so important for helping plants to grow. The children made their own bee baths using clay and stones, providing a place for bees to stop for a drink and stay hydrated while they continue their important work. We also learned about hedgehogs and worked together to build a hedgehog house outside to create a safe habitat for them.

As part of our sustainability learning, we discussed how we can all help to look after our planet by recycling and reusing materials. The children transformed old milk and juice cartons into bird feeders, which will help support our local wildlife.

One of the highlights of the week was finally getting to hold our chicks! The children were fantastic, showing great care and responsibility by holding them gently and correctly. It was wonderful to see how calm and caring they were with them.

Alongside all of these exciting activities, we have continued to recap our phonics and maths learning. The children have worked incredibly hard and should be very proud of themselves.

Have a wonderful weekend, and I look forward to seeing everyone next week!
