Foundation Stage Autumn 2

10th December 2021Margaret Lim

The children have been very busy preparing for their Nativity performance and did very well when they were recorded. Thank you to parents for providing costumes- they looked amazing!

 

We have been looking at the story  ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker and imagining opening a door which takes us into a different place. The children have written sentences about this and the places they would like to go to.

With Christmas coming up everyone has been busy making decorations and having fun!

 

In Maths the children have been learning about positional language, e.g. next to, in front of, on top, etc. They have also been practising finding one more and one less than a given number up to five.

Next term we look forward to exploring the story ‘The Sleepy Bumblebee” in English. For Maths we will be looking at how a number can be made up in different ways, e.g. 2+3+5. 4+1=5, etc.

Our topic will be ‘Journeys’ and we will be finding out about different kinds of transport and interesting places to travel to, such as Arctic regions and jungles.

Exciting learning in Foundation!

The children have been settling in well and have started their learning journey.

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at traditional stories including Goldilocks and the Three Bears and, more recently, The Gingerbread Man.

The children have enjoyed cutting and sticking their own gingerbread men and next week they will get to decorate gingerbread men biscuits!

In the past week we have been looking for signs of Autumn and the changes of the seasons.

Every day we have a Phonics lesson and the children have been learning to recognise and write single sounds m,a,s,d,t,n,o,g,p,i,u,b,c,k.

Next half term we will be starting the topic ‘People Who Help Us’ and various celebrations, such as understanding of numbers to ten and learning about shape.
