Welcome to Foundation Stage 2!
Welcome to Foundation Stage 2! We are so happy you have joined our class and we have so many exciting things for us to learn and do. Our class is called Down in the Jungle, which was inspired by the story Elmer. Your teacher is Miss Rothery but we are very lucky to have lots of other adults support us in FS2. We have Miss Speight, Miss Holdsworth and Miss Halstead. This term we are exploring our topic ‘Into the Woods’.
Autumn Term 2:
Communication and Language – Developing speaking and listening skills, learning new words and speaking in sentences.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development – Embed the rules and routines in the setting, follow instructions and continue to develop our independence. We will be crossing the road to learn how to be a safe pedestrian and sorting healthy and unhealthy food items.
Physical development – In P.E we are focussing on the fundamental skills required throughout the year to include balancing, moving in different ways and ball skills.
Literacy – We are using a familiar text, Owl Babies to create exciting hooks and real life experiences. We will have a special visit from the Yorkshire Owl Company, how exciting! In Phonics, we are learning the letter sounds u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, le, ss, j and v. We are working on blending and segmenting VC and CVC words and developing our letter formation. In writing, we are learning how to write initial sounds, VC and CVC words and simple sentences and our own names using the correct letter formation.
Mathematics – We are exploring the composition of numbers to 5, 2D shapes, positional language and ordering numbers.
Understanding the World – We will be learning about Remembrance Day, Diwali and Christmas. The children will be exploring different seasons and learning about different materials. We will be using maps to find the United Kingdom, Barnsley and countries of importance to us.
Expressive Arts and Design – We are learning how to attach different materials, create a collage and adapt our work. In Music, we are learning about the pulse, rhythm and pitch.
These are just some of the experiences that will take place this half term. All of your child’s learning will be shared via our online learning journey Evidence Me, please check this regularly to receive frequent updates on your child’s learning!
