Foundation Stage - Oak and Acorn

Hello Everyone!

We hope you have had fun and enjoyed some of the activities suggested so far. It’s been great to see your smiley faces and activities on Tapestry and Facebook.

Have you seen the message from the staff on Facebook / the website? I’m sure you’ll recognise some familiar faces! 

Coming up this week there will also be Miss Rowe’s challenge for the Smartest Giant in Town.

Having spoken to parents and reflecting on our usual curriculum we have decided to make a few changes to our home learning suggestions.  We will be focussing our suggestions around a theme each week. This week we are going to focus on the topic of VE day. Next week we plan to base our ideas around a traditional story.

 

Stay safe, take care and let us know what you’ve been up to.

Mrs Keeping, Mrs Clarke, Mrs Rush, Mrs Arthur, Miss White and Mrs Coleman.

The Department For Education have funded 12 weeks of Summer term lessons using the Letters and Sounds programme that we use in class.

They are a couple of weeks behind where we were but it will be a great recap for the children and a great way to train them back into phonics sessions.
