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 Autumn Term 1

Our whole school topic for the Autumn term is the local study of Grimsby. In Foundation will be focusing upon making positive relationships, getting to know our school and learning the rules. The children will be learning to talk about themselves and their families, talking about where they live and then moving onto what they know about Grimsby. Alongside this we will be completing our baseline assessments, starting our Power of Reading and maths sessions.

School Topic for Autumn Term 2

For the second part of the Autumn term the whole school will have a focus on Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day and finally our Christmas topic 'Making Christmas Magical.' For Bonfire Night will be focussing on firework artwork, colours and firework safety, For Remembrance Day we will be learning wartime nursery rhymes such as The Grand Old Duke of York and Humpty Dumpty. Finally for our 'Making Christmas Magical' topic we will be making our own Christmas decorations for our very own Christmas tree and reading Stick Man as part of our Power of Reading work.

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.
