Foundation Stage 2
Welcome to Foundation Stage 2!
The team is Mrs Tasker, Mrs Readford, Miss Armitage, Mrs Haq & Miss Bashir.
Learning Journey
Our learning journey this half term will be looking at spring, Chinese New Year, Ramadan, Eid and Easter. We will also be learning about people who help us and those in the past who have influenced people today. In particular we will be learning about the police, fire service, doctors and nurses. We will read about Florence Nightingale and how she changed nursing for the better.
Maths
In maths, we will be continuing to learn in depth about numbers to ten, focussing on numbers 5-10. We will explore ordering numbers, subitising, matching quantities and equal/ unequal groups. We will also be identifying one more and one less.
Phonics and English
To develop the children’s use of language we will learn nursery rhymes. This half term we will be learning: Mary, Mary quite Contrary, Miss Molly had a Dolly and The Grand Old Duke of York.
In literacy we will be enjoying the stories: Supertato and Zog and the Flying Doctors. We will be reading the non-fiction book Little People, Big Dreams: Florence Nightingale.
We will begin to write words and short phrases.
In phonics, we will move onto Phase 3 digraphs. The children will also begin to apply their phonics in literacy as well as through reading sessions in school.
The children will continue to bring home a reading for pleasure book as well as a phonics book to practise reading at home and develop their skills.

Show and Tell
This half term we are asking you to get creative with your child at home. For their show and tell they will need to make something at home and bring it in on their allocated date and talk about it. They could make a model, draw/paint a picture, grow something in a pot, cook something- your choice!
Parent events
This half term, we will go on a visit to Darnall library where we will listen to some stories and learn about all the library has to offer.
We will also be going on a spring walk around the local area.
Parents are invited every Wednesday to Readmore@Phillimore in the classrooms at 8:45.
