Welcome to Foundation!
This week, we’ve been very busy getting the classroom ready. We’re excited for your child to see their new classroom environment in the next few weeks.
Mrs Myers has been practising her letters and sounds.
Mrs Flynn has been stomping around with the dinosaurs.
Mrs Kirby has been busy building with the bricks.
Mrs Palmer has been reading and re-telling stories.
Our class teddies are also new to Foundation 2 this year. They haven’t even got a name yet! We thought it would be fun for the children to decide what to call the class teddies this year. The class teddies are very special as at some point in the year your child will be able to take them home – so they end up on lots of adventures with the Foundation children! Some children may meet our class teddies this week when they are out on their home visits meeting children who are new to school.
We’re looking forward to welcoming children into Foundation 2 next week.
Beach party
We had a fantastic day at our end of year ‘Beach Party’. There were water fights, beach balls, frisbees, cricket, tennis, football, rugby, snacking and dancing. The sun shone and there were smiles everywhere! Here’s to a happy and healthy summer!
Sports Morning and Beach Party
On Wednesday, we had a mini sports morning. The children competed in lots of different races e.g. egg and spoon, sack, running and a hoop obstacle.
We also had fun today at our Beach Party – so much fun that we forgot to take any pictures of the water fight! After the party we had our snack, played outside, danced to Wake Up Shake Up songs and went on the obstacle course.
Sports coaching
We enjoyed a special PE session today with the 5/6 children coaching our 1/2 children. We used the track for racing, hurdles and agility ladders, tennis, cricket, football and javelin.
100% Attendance
We would like to say a huge well done to the eleven Foundation 2 children who have achieved 100% attendance this year!
Peace Party
Year 5/6 would like to say a huge thank you to the Scholes community for making the Peace Party such a memorable event. The children enjoyed making origami cranes, decorating boxes, creating peace book marks, playing games outside, writing to a pen pal and learning about geography through games and quizzes.
At home, you might like to discuss and research Peace Parties and how they relate to our society today.
Living and Learning : coping with change and class transitions
There were a few nerves, excitement, apprehension and anticpation before our transition day on Thursday. It all turned out fine and the children were excited to think about the new experiences they will have next year.
PE : ‘Sports Day’ fun
All of year 1 and 2 enjoyed a ‘mini sports day’PE lesson together today. We ran, skipped and carried bean bags.We cheered alot and encouraged each other to be resilient and determined – never giving up!
Living and Learning : I can illustrate happy and healthy choices.
Our whole school homework produced some super examples, including songs, posters, games, a cow (to show a lactose intolerance) and lots of discussions. Children illustrated how they make healthy choices about food, exercise and sleep.
Living and Learning : RSE
Our Living and Learning lessons around relationship and sex education (RSE) have continued. The year 2s have talked about how male and females are different and the year 1s read books and talked about how everyone is unique and different.
