Welcome to the dinosaur lair!

By admin12th April 2016

It was lovely to welcome back 2D to school and we spent most of the day working with Miss Broome to make a dinosaur lair which will form our reading corner and a large scale T-Rex.

We are very excited about igniting our learning further on our trip tomorrow at the National History Museum. Please remember to be on time tomorrow in full school uniform and with coats. Children will also need to have a packed lunch that is disposable with their name clearly labelled. Bookbags are not required tomorrow.

Easter home learning

By admin24th March 2016
Well done Foundation! You have been growing your mindsets, knowledge, skills and friendships this term.
Please continue to read with your children at home over the holiday. We would love to see them practising their letter formation and sentence writing at home too. Please share this through Tapestry or bring in any learning when the children return. Next term we will be making lots of observations about the world around us, with all the seasonal changes that occur this time of year. This is why the children have each been given a bean to grow. Please soak the tissue provided (or use cotton wool) with water. When the bean starts sprouting, fill the cup with soil and watch it grow! All of Foundation have a Bean Diary to draw and write in when they observe each stage. Have fun!

Looking after our teeth

By admin24th March 2016

Foundation enjoyed their experience with the health visitors this week who helped them learn how long they should brush their teeth for. The children designed their own healthy or rotten teeth and found out about all the foods that can damage our teeth if we don’t keep them clean. They have been telling me that they have already used the timer in their goody bags to brush for two minutes! Well done Foundation.
