We ask that children bring a water bottle to school every day, which we are able to refill throughout the day with water. We have milk and fruit at snack time each day, though children are welcome to bring their own healthy snack to eat (examples of healthy snacks are fresh fruit/vegetables, dried fruit, breadsticks, cheese, cereal bars. No chocolate, crisps or biscuits for snack time please!)
Class Themes and Topics:
In Foundation Stage, all learners experience a broad, balanced and varied curriculum, which is relevant to their stage of development. Thoughtfully planned, child-centred topics change from half term to half term, and are used as a vehicle to teach the whole EYFS curriculum. This year, our topics include:
Autumn 1- All About Me
Autumn 2- Celebrations
Spring 1- Fur, Feathers and Scales (Winter)
Spring 2- How Does Your Garden Grow?
Summer 1- Wild Things/People Who Help Us
Summer 2- The Seaside
Key texts we will focus on each half term:
Autumn 1: Goldilocks and the Three Bears/Little Red Riding Hood
Autumn 2: Hansel and Gretel/The Gingerbread Man
Spring 1: The Princess and the Frog/The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Spring 2: Jack and the Beanstalk/The Little Red Hen/Three Little Pigs
Summer 1: The Three Billy Goats Gruff/The Gruffalo/Supertato
Summer 2:The Rainbow Fish/What the Ladybird Heard at the Seaside/We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
This is not an exhaustive list. We will read lots more stories/ texts throughout the year based on topics and the children’s interests.
Reading regularly at home will to develop a love of books and your child’s skills as a reader!
