Welcome to Foundation Stage 2026

Our topic this term is:

'Amazing Animals!'

Foundation Stage learning in term 3:  

Our topic this term is ‘Amazing Animals’ and we will be learning about pets, wild animals, farm animals and animals that live in the Polar Regions.  We will be using some lovely texts such as 'six dinner sid', 'mog the forgetful cat', 'Farmer Duck', 'Elmer', 'Lost and Found' and introduce the children to non-fiction texts about animals.  We will use this topic to find out about animals habitats, what they eat, what they look like and their similarities and differences.  This topic lends itself to lot's of art activities using different media and materials.  In phonics we will be teaching the children level 3 sounds and tricky words and then reading and writing captions containing these sounds.  In maths we will explore mass, capacity, length, height and time.  We will teach numbers to 8.  The children will learn to recognise these numbers, write them, be able to say 1 more or one less and the composition of these larger numbers.  We end our term looking at the celebration Chinese New Year.

Another busy, fun term in foundation stage!
