Welcome to Foundation Stage 2. We are really happy that all of the children have settled in to Foundation Stage 2 really well and are eager to learn.  

Learning Journey 

Our learning journey this half term will be looking at who we are and our families. During our topic, we will be discussing the question, ‘Who are we?’ Through this question we will be developing many of the children’s personal social skills, including building confidence when talking in groups, talking about our wants and needs, likes and dislikes and our homes and communities. We will explore our feelings and senses. The children will be learning about the world around us and the changes that happen in autumn.  

Maths 

In maths, we will be matching and sorting objects and numbers and comparing amounts, sizes, mass, capacity and patterns. We will also begin representing and understanding numbers up to 10 as well as shapes and positional language. 

Phonics and English 

We To develop the children’s use of language we will learn nursery rhymes. This half term we will be learning;  

One, two, three, four, five, Once I caught a fish alive 

Baa baa black sheep  

Humpty dumpty  

1, 2 buckle my shoe  

The children will begin their phonic journey by learning to recognise letters which represent sounds. More information to follow.  

PE

Class 1 PE is on Friday

• Other activities in the classroom 

Show and Tell  

 This half term your child will be asked to bring in an object which is special to them and tell their class about it. When it is your child’s turn, please help your child to choose the object and talk about why it is special to them.  Your class teacher will send a list of when it is your child’s turn.  

Show and tell sets the stage for children to become comfortable when speaking in public. In addition, show and tell can be a great tool to help English Language Learners, giving them a chance to practice academic vocabulary, pronunciation, and other basic skills they need to succeed.
