Spring Term
Our second Spring Term will be all about 'Growing'. We will be learning about ourselves growing up and also how other things such as animals and plants grow.
The first text we will be looking at as a class will be 'The Hungry Caterpillar' and will be followed by 'Farmer Duck'. If you don't have a copy at home their are plenty of versions on YouTube to share with your child.
Children will begin to learn the basics of Reading and Writing through Read Write Inc. More information on Read Write Inc can be found here

Children's Maths Learning will follow the White Rose Maths scheme of learning. As part of this, children will be getting to learn about numbers through the Numberblocks.

You can support your child's learning by getting to know the Numberblocks, investigating capacity and learning shapes at home.
Covid-19
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions in place, the Foundation classroom will run slightly different than usual. Children will be regularly washing their hands and this will be a focal point for the first week at school. Alongside this, children will be unable to access resources that are unable to be thoroughly cleaned regularly. We will be constantly following Government guidance and advice from the Early Years team so that your child can access as many different types of provision as possible.
