Foundation: Connect

A Big Thank You from the Foundation Team

As we wrap up the year, the Foundation teachers would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our students, parents, and carers. Your support and partnership have made a wonderful difference in the learning journey of every child. Together, we’ve been an amazing team!

We wish you the happiest of holidays and hope you enjoy this special time with family and friends. The holidays are also a great opportunity to keep learning skills active in fun and practical ways! Here are some ideas:

Maths ideas:

• Cooking with Maths: Measure ingredients, count items, and explore fractions while preparing recipes together.
• Revisit Key Concepts: Practise counting, number recognition, and simple addition or subtraction during everyday activities.
• Retrieval Practice: Ask questions like “What shapes can you find around the house?” or “What number comes after 15?” to keep those skills fresh.

Making maths part of daily life helps children stay confident and curious!

Writing ideas

• Christmas cards and writing the names on presents
• Label Christmas drawings with annotations
• Holiday Journal
• Writing about what they enjoy and creating new stories

Thank-you all so much for a FANTASTIC YEAR and we look forward to seeing all your faces in 2026!

Kind regards,

Alex Whittle (0A), Carmen Leal (0A - Wednesday & 0B Monday & Tuesday), Rhiannon Harris-Tudor (0B)Wed-Friday and Kate Clark Monday - Friday (0C)
