Welcome to Foundation Two for 2025-26

Welcome to the Spring Term of Foundation 2! We are really looking forward to all of the exciting learning opportunities we have planned for this term.

Spring Term Headlines

-Our P.E Day this half term will be Wednesday and next half term it will be Monday (this may change on occasion). PE Kits will be kept in school until half tem.  Please can long hair be tied back.

- As we know, the Great British weather can be very unpredictable! Please send in a raincoat into school with your child each day and on colder days, a hat, scarf and gloves as we spend lots of time learning outdoors.

- 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.
