Hello

Just to let you know that we are going to be starting our phone calls from Tuesday afternoon and continuing Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

We are really looking forward to catching up with you all 🙂

Skipper 1 enjoying a PE ball skills lesson.

Last week the children enjoyed the story of Leaf Man. They have mapped the story, created their own leaf man and written some sentences to describe his journey as he floated on the wind.

Everyone is settling in really well. Here is a little snap shot.

Maths, busy bee time, phonics and literacy- ‘It’s not a stick’ and label ourselves.

We have really enjoyed getting to know all of your children over the last couple of weeks and they are settling back in so well. We are slowly getting to know all of you as well and we appreciate your patience with us!

Skipper F you’ve finished your first school year

But it’s not a time to shed a tear

It’s time to look back with fondness on all that you’ve done

Tomorrow the summer holidays begin! This year has definitely been one to remember! Let’s spend the day having some fun and celebrating all your hard work for your home learning or school learning. 

Play a game of musical statues! Here are some of our favourite songs to dance to…

Whilst enjoying a delicious treat with your friends or family, look back through some photos from your time in Foundation and talk about what some of your favourite moments have been. 

We can’t wait to welcome you all back in September to finish off our final few days in Foundation before you begin your next learning journey in Year 1. 

Have a well deserved rest and lots of fun over the summer holidays.

Phonics & Literacy

Linking to our phonics session yesterday, have a go at writing your own minibeast riddle. Take a piece of A4 paper and fold it in half. Write your riddle on the front. Write at least 3 clues and end it with ‘Who am I?’ Inside your folded piece of paper draw a picture of your minibeast to reveal who you were talking about. Give your riddle to a member of your family to read. Can they work out which minibeast your riddle is about? 

Here are some pictures of minibeast to choose from. You can find out more about minibeast on the Woodland Trust website https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2019/05/minibeast-facts/
