Welcome to Foundation Two for 2024-25

Welcome to the summer term of Foundation 2! We are so proud of all that the children have achieved so far this year and are really looking forward to the exciting learning opportunities we have planned for the summer term.

Summer Term Headlines

-Our P.E Day this half term will be Friday (this may change on occasion). We aim to do many of these lessons outside and hope that later on in the term we will be able to venture down to the village green for some lessons. Please send in a pair of trainers or pumps for outdoor P.E if you have not already done so.

- As we know, the Great British weather can be very unpredictable! Please send in a raincoat into school with your child each day. We spend lots of time learning outdoors so children will need sunhats in school each day when the weather is fine and sun cream applied before school.

- Children will be given fresh fruit or vegetables as a snack each morning. We have water bottles for them in school so they do not need to bring in one from home.

-Please make sure that all items of clothing are labelled so that we can help the children to return home with all of their belongings.

- Reading: Please spend time reading with your child everyday. Encourage them to spot tricky words within a text. Can they predict what might happen next? Can they use the pictures to discuss how characters are feeling? Can they use the pictures to describe the setting? Encourage your child to use positional language and adjectives to extend their vocabulary. For some suggested to books to read with your child, please follow the link below:

7 Golden Rules

Our whole school behaviour policy applies in F2. Our golden, blue and red bears represent the 'golden zone', 'warning zone' and 'time out zone' for the children in F2.

F2 had a visit from Merseyside Police. They tried on uniform, looked at equipment and asked lots of super questions.

World Book Day 2025

F2 had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day. We shared clues about our favourite stories, made book character masks, designed book covers and book marks and enjoyed sharing our favourite stories with children in Year 5 and 6.

F2 had a visit from our local Fire Service.

Eid Story

F2 were very lucky to have a visit from Faktara from MEAS (Minority Ethnic Achievement Service) for a diversity story session. Faktara shared with us the lovely story of ‘Ismat’s Eid’ by Fawzia Gilani-Williams. She told us all about the special things Muslim families do together to celebrate Eid twice a year. She talked about the food many families cook, the clothes they wear and the gifts they give. After we had read the story Faktara showed us some of the clothes her family wear for Eid and some of usmodelled them for everyone to see.

F2 had a great day raising money for Children in Need
