Book bags
A reminder that each child needs a book bag in school to carry letters and soon their home reading book. This will avoid any important letters going missing.
A fantastic start to school!
We have had an exciting week welcoming everyone on their first few days of school!
We are very proud of how the Foundation 2 children have settled in and adapted to all the changes in their lives. They have been learning how to listen in larger groups, take turns and have formed new friendships and relationships with adults. Their independence and confidence is increasing on a daily basis!
They have been exploring all the new areas, activities, toys and resources in Foundation 2. We are following the children’s interests and adapting our provision accordingly. This has included knights and dragons, baking, cars and dinosaurs so far. Please let us know if your child has any particular interests that we can share at school too.
You can add to ‘our interests’ board any interests your child may have. We will use this information to plan for your child’s classroom environment. We love to read their favourite stories, so if they would like to bring in a book to share, they are more than welcome.
Home-link
When teaching the children to write their name, we sing a ditty to support with their letter formation. You can use the Letter Formation guide for support when practising writing their name at home.
ALDI sticker collection
Aldi have launched a sticker collection scheme that we are hoping to benefit from. Please bring any stickers you collect into school. There is a collection bucket in the entrance. Thank you.
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.
100% Attendance
We would like to say a huge well done to the eleven Foundation 2 children who have achieved 100% attendance this year!
Golden assembly – outside!
We enjoyed an al fresco assembly today because the hall be being used. We sang and presented our certificates under the trees.
Scholes Open Gardens – scarecrow competition
We have been supporting the team of volunteers who orgainse Scholes in Bloom. Today is the Open Gardens event and we created some scarecrows in school around this year’s theme, ‘World of Song’. The scarecrows will be displayed again on Britain in Bloom judging day on 19 July.
Whole school sports roundabout
Our whole school sports roundabout is a chance for all children to work together, in teams, showcasing their sporting skills. The mixed aged teams encourage children to work together, supporting and encouraging each other. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to show their support.
