Welcome to FS2

We would like to remind you that the doors open for sharing time at 8.40am and close promptly at 8.50am. 

School Topic for Spring Term

Our whole school topic for the Spring term is 'Life on Earth' where we will be focusing on art skills. The children will be experimenting with paint, textures and collage linked to the author Eric Carle. We will also be continuing to focus upon making positive relationships and taking care of the lovely things in our school, and alongside this we will be starting a new Power of Reading book 'Polar Bear Polar Bear what do you hear?' and carrying on with our White Rose maths planning.

Homework and Readers

Once the children are settled in the Foundation Stage and we begin formal lessons (after the baseline assessments), children will be sent home with a letter formation activity to practise the sound they have learnt during the day in their Read Write Inc lesson. We will also be sending home a reading book if your child brings a book bag into school. Please share the book with your child and record when you have read in your reading challenge. 

PE

The children take part in lots of physical activities in our outside area, which children have access to for most of the day. We begin more formal PE lessons in the Spring term and will send a letter nearer the time to inform you of what your child will need.
