Welcome to the Foundation Stage Page!

This term our topic is

Animal Tails and Other Tales

This term our topic is going to be all about animals.

The children will learn about lots of different animals, both domestic and wild, and how to take care of them. They will be learning about the lifecycles of egg to chick and caterpillar to butterfly.

There will be stories and poems to listen to, talk about and learn off by heart,

as well as songs and dances.

We are excited that the children will be starting Forest School this term and experiencing all the fantastic learning opportunities that outdoor education provides.

Our Jigsaw theme for term 5 is Relationships and our collective worship theme is Creativity.

PE days are Mondays and Fridays so the children can wear their kit to school. The children can bring their folders and change their reading books on any day but will need them on a Monday and Thursday for reading and homework. 

The children will need a coat, water bottle, trainers, wellies and indoor shoes everyday. They will need a packed lunch if they are not booked in

for a free school meal.
