Welcome to Foundation Stage 2!

We have had a great learning journey so far, full of exciting adventures and we are eager to continue this throughout the spring term.

Our topics are ‘Super You, Super Me!’ and ‘A Long Time Ago…’.

Our key texts in Literacy throughout spring one are ‘Supertato, ‘Superworm, ‘Once Upon A Fairytale’, ‘Police Officers’ , ‘Doctor’ and ‘Mr Wolf’s Pancakes’. In spring two we are exploring ‘I Love Chinese New Year’, ‘The Gigantic Turnip’, ‘Toys and Games’, ‘The Hundred Decker Bus’, and ‘Pete the Cat Big Easter Adventure’.

Throughout Foundation Stage, we consistently strive to promote our children’s oracy development. As Early Years practitioners, we understand that early language is a vital skill for later success ranging across all seven areas of the curriculum. Each week the children will be introduced to three new words through the programme, ‘Word Aware for the Early Years’. These words are specifically taught using actions, symbols and examples as well as throughout provision. Other key words linked to our text of the week are introduced through tier 1, 2 and 3 words. These key words and definitions are shared with the children during Literacy sessions and referred to in play.

Reading is a key driver throughout our school and we aim to provide our children with the necessary tools to support early reading. Following and teaching the Floppy’s Phonics scheme, allows a consistent approach across school in the teaching of reading.

Our children are developing their knowledge of number and numerical patterns through the ‘Maths No Problem’ scheme. Throughout the spring term, our children will learn basic counting skills, number bonds up to 10, 2D and 3D shapes, patterns, measure length and height and explore capacity.   

All of our learning will be recorded on Evidence Me and all parents are encouraged to look through their child’s learning journey.
