Foundations final farewell blog

11th July 2025Farhana Siddique

Reading
Splash, Anna Hibiscus! : Atinuke, Tobia, Lauren: Amazon.co.uk: BooksThis term, our focus story was ‘Splash, Anna Hibiscus!’ Anna lives by the sea in Africa and loves to splash in the water with others, but all her family members are busy. We have been discussing the features we might see and activities we might do at the seaside—both at our seaside and the one where Anna lives in Africa. We’ve been learning and using words like jetty, parasol, shack, and palm tree. The children drew pictures of the seaside and talked about what they enjoy doing at the beach.

RE
This term, our theme for RE is ‘Nature’. This unit explores how we can be helpful members of society. The children have learned about the creation story and discussed the importance of appreciating what nature offers us, as well as how we can best look after the environment.

Phonics
Children in Foundation have made tremendous progress in phonics, where they are able to read CVC words confidently and independently. They have also mastered how to read alien words with greater accuracy and fluency by identifying the special friends. Most children have also learnt how to write sentences using the sounds learnt and apply finger spaces and full stops. We are beyond proud for how far they have come.

Safety
In preparation for the summer holidays, this week we have been talking about how to stay safe at home, in the sun and spoke about water safety. Children understood how to keep safe in different situations by;

  • Wearing a hat
  • Applying sun cream
  • Drinking plenty of water
  • Staying in the shade when possible
  • Asking adults for help when they are in the kitchen
  • Always listen to adult when playing in or near water.

Maths
This term we have been learning about how to share out equally and identify odd and even numbers. Children have been using using different mathematical resources such as numicon, counters and cubes to prove whether a number is odd or even. Similarly, Children have been exploring how to read maps using prepositional language and have been able to draw a maps of their local area.

Continuous Provision
At the beginning of the last half term the children enjoyed learning all about dinosaurs. This involved finding out about when dinosaurs lived and what they ate for example, we used the vocabulary carnivore, omnivore and herbivore. The children became very good at recognizing the different dinosaurs and being able to pronounce their names! We set up a dinosaur cave within our setting which the children enjoyed exploring. It has also been good to see the children using their creative skills to make various dinosaur crafts.

Science (Understanding the world)
We are now turning our focus onto studying mini beasts and the children had fun when we went on a bug hunt around the school environment. They found many different mini beasts including ants, bees, ladybirds, butterflies and spiders. The main highlight for the children was when on Science day they let the class butterflies out of their net and watch them fly away. We had watched them grow and hatch from the caterpillar stage. We are looking forward to a visit from Teaching Talons next week when the children will have the opportunity to look at a range of animals and mini beasts at close hand and to learn some interesting facts about them.

Writing
This half term it has been so encouraging to see the enormous progress that the children have made with their writing skills. They have independently written about their own dinosaur which they drew as well as about the butterflies which we hatched. Just this last week they wrote about what they would like to be when they grow up.

Sizzling Fun in the Sun!

14th May 2025Farhana Siddique
Maths:
This term we have been learning to count to 20. Children are challenged to recognise and write the numbers. They have also been using different mathematical resources to represent a number between 1 – 20. Likewise they have been learning how to articulate subtraction number sentences using different mathematical language and prove if the answer is correct using different methods such as a number line or a ten frame.
Continuous Provision:
The children have had a Vet’s Clinic in the role play area where they have had the opportunity to reinforce their learning about animals and how to care for them. They have used play dough to model different animals and have made farm animal face masks using different collage materials. They have also enjoyed making silhouette pictures of African animals on a sunset background. Next week the children will be exploring animals that live under the sea and will have  the opportunity to create under water sea pictures using a range of different materials.
Outside Learning:
With the lovely warm weather we have been experiencing the children have enjoyed being outside, especially in the garden. Our sandpit has been enjoyed daily as the children have made sandcastles together as well as digging and making patterns in the sand. Many of the children have enjoyed the opportunity to have water play outside as well as building in the construction area and mark making at the tables. The reading area has proved popular too with some children taking the opportunity to sit in the shade.

 


Phonics:

Children in Foundation are thriving in phonics and are reading real words with speed. They are beginning to read alien words with greater accuracy and fluency. There are individuals who are now starting to write sentences and are being taught set 3 sounds. Please continue to listen to your child read at home and access the phonics home learning documents to strengthen their understanding so they continue to make progress.

Reading:
This half term, our focus texts were Stanley’s Stick and The Gruffalo. Inspired by Stanley’s Stick, the children tapped into their creativity and explored a variety of imaginative uses for their own sticks. They transformed them into items such as pens, pencils, walking sticks, magic wands, and even paintbrushes, showing great inventiveness and enthusiasm during the activity.

After reading The Gruffalo, the children had a wonderful time making their own Gruffalo Crumble in the mud kitchen. They carefully read and followed the recipe, demonstrating excellent teamwork and early reading skills as they measured, mixed, and created their imaginative dishes inspired by the story.

The Gruffalo - WikipediaStanley's Stick : Layton, Neal, Hegley, John: Amazon.co.uk: Books

RE: This half term, the children have been engaged in lessons designed to introduce the concept of society. As part of this, they explored the roles of significant religious figures such as Moses and Mohammed, listening to stories about these special messengers. To deepen their understanding of respect—a key value in any society—the children created a paper chain decorated with words that represent respectful behaviour, highlighting the qualities they believe are important in treating others kindly and fairly.

Writing:
In English, the children have been writing about the story of Farmer Duck and have been using lots of their phonic sounds, including some special friends! They also had a go at using tricky words in their writing. Similarly, this week we focused on the story ‘The tiger who came to tea’ and the children were excited when the tiger visited them for their picnic lunch on VE day.

Understanding the world
This term has been extremely busy, children have been learning about different traditions and celebration whilst gaining many opportunities to try new food and expand their taste buds. For example, for Chinese new year, we opened a Chinese restaurant in the role play area and the children had the opportunities to taste; prawn crackers, stir fry, fortune cookies and spring rolls which they could dip into their sweet and sour sauce.

We also celebrated Pancake day. The children were extremely excited and they used key vocabulary throughout the week when discussing how to make the pancake batter and what steps are involved during the cooking process. It was lovely to see children apply their phonetic knowledge to write instructions for making their pancake in their book. Children also loved listening to the story ‘Mr. Wolf’s Pancake’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXQDiqHp-xM

Phonic
All children will be assessed and will be moving into their new phonics group next term.  Every class in Foundation is making tremendous progress and beginning to read longer texts and answer comprehension style questions.

Maths
In Maths, the children have been learning about the numbers 9 and 10. They were encouraged to count to 10 using objects arranged in different ways, touching each object as they counted. In class, they found objects in the provision and identified groups of 9 and 10, as well as the corresponding numerals. The children have also been learning to identify parts and wholes, as well as to find more and fewer. We are now recognising and exploring 3D shapes found in the environment and creating different patterns with them.

Maths:
In Maths this half term the children have been focusing on numbers up to 5. They have matched numbers to their quantities and have been using their new skill of subitising. They have become familiar with using a ten frame to record different numbers and to say what is one more or one less than a given number.

They have also learnt about 2D shapes which have included circles, triangles, squares and rectangles. The children have learnt about their different properties and what makes them the same , e.g. a square and rectangle both have 4 sides, and what makes them different, e.g. a triangle has straight sides and a circle is curved. We all enjoyed taking a walk around our indoor and outdoor learning environment looking for evidence of the different shapes. We found lots!
Understanding the World:
It has been a busy half term of learning. The children found out about Diwali, the festival of light as well as learning about why we celebrate bonfire night. We also took part in making poppies for the display at the front of the school for Remembrance day. They joined in with the rest of the school for the two minute silence to remember those soldiers who fought in the world wars as well as in different conflicts since then.
We have been fortunate to have some visitors come into school to talk to the children about the importance of looking after their teeth and the need to visit a dentist regularly. They kindly gave each child a toothbrush and toothpaste to take home. Our school lollypop man Mr. Paul came into the classroom to talk to the children during road safety week. They listened carefully as he talked about the the importance of knowing the correct  way to cross the road and to keep safe especially at this time of the year when it is getting darker earlier.
At the the moment the children are busy practicing for their nativity play. They are looking forward to seeing you all next Tuesday 17th December at 2pm when they will perform it for you.
