Welcome to Foundation Two for 2025-26

Welcome to the Autumn Term of Foundation 2! It has been such a pleasure to welcome the children into their new school and they are settling in brilliantly. We are really looking forward to all of the exciting learning opportunities we have planned for this term. 

Autumn Term Headlines

-Our P.E Day this half term will be Friday (this may change on occasion). Children will need a P.E. kit (t-shirt and shorts only for this term) that is kept in school. Long hair to be tied back for P.E please.

- As we know, the Great British weather can be very unpredictable! Please send in a raincoat into school with your child each day 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. If you would like your child to have milk, please make sure you have signed up for this (details are in the welcome pack).

-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. 

-If you haven’t already done so, please send in a pair of wellies for your child to keep in school.

Daily Essentials:  (Resources to support some of these tasks can be found below)

- 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.
