Welcome to Foundation Two for 2024-25

Autumn Term

Welcome to F2 children and families! It has been lovely to welcome the children to their first term at school, ready for the opportunities and experiences that await them.

Reminders for Autumn Term

- Please send in a pair of wellies for your child to keep in school 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. 

- 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 in school, please make sure you have registered on the Coolmilk website so that the milk is sent with the order. 

- Our PE day this half term will be Tuesday. P.E kits will be kept in school until half term.

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.
