Foundation

We hope that you have all had a lovely two-week break and that the students are excited about beginning term 4.  

NEW INVESTIGATION AREAS

This term our subject focus is health, and the Foundation investigation areas have been designed to include various health elements. This term the Foundation students have a hospital, healthy cafe, supermarket and a fitness centre to enjoy during Investigation time. 

RRRR 

During RRRR (Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships) last term the Foundation students discussed what they would like to do in the future. Each child drew a picture of their ‘Future self’ undertaking their chosen job. Some examples of the student's work are included below.

FOUNDATION LEARNING FOCUS

Literacy  

• Revision 
• Sounds- 'wh,’ ‘th,’ ‘oo’ ‘ing’
• Students are focusing on including capital letters, full stops and spaces between their words when writing sentences, as well as furthering their writing skills through writing independently.  
• Tricky words: what, where, want.

Can you please continue to support your child with reading daily and practicing the tricky words which were sent home in the holidays. We will continue to assess the students this week on the sounds and tricky words which have been taught so far this year.
