Welcome to Foundation Stage!
Welcome to Term 4 of Foundation Stage
Our topic this term is:
'A Ticket to Ride!'
Our topic this term is ‘A Ticket to Ride!’. Our learning will be based around different types of transport past and present, different places and environments. We have some exciting stories planned to support this learning such as 'Mr Gumpy's Motor Car', 'The Naughty Bus', 'The Train Ride', 'Whatever Next' and many more. The children will have opportunities to make different vehicles using different media and construction, learn and perform dances and songs about vehicles and create their own maps.
In phonics, we will be learning level 3 digraphs and trigraphs. We will be spelling and reading words with these sounds and revising the level 2 sounds. We will also be writing simple sentences including finger spaces and a full stop. The children will read weekly with an adult a book at their phonic level in groups or independently. The children will also have time to read books for pleasure in our book areas in class and outside.
In maths, we are combining groups, exploring 9 and 10, comparing numbers to 10 and learning number bonds to 10. We will begin to name and describe 3D shapes and continue and create repeating patterns. As always, the learning taking place is uploaded to Tapestry so please log on and have a look!
We look forward to our enrichment day where we celebrate our family members as part of Mother's Day, inviting you into class for an afternoon to share art and craft activities with the children.
As always if you have any questions please speak to your child's class teacher. We look forward to lots of exciting learning this term with your children.
