Welcome to Foundation Stage

Welcome to the Foundation Stage page of our school website.

We have been delighted to spend the week meeting our new children and their grown-ups. We hope that you found your 'All About Me' session helpful and reassuring. This week the children are making their first solo visit and their first lunch visit. We will also be taking a photograph to send to the local newspaper for their 'Starting School' supplement. If you have any outstanding paperwork to return to school, next week would be a great opportunity to hand it in. 

Best wishes from The Foundation Stage Team 

Mrs Connelly, Mrs Cole & Mrs Moore (Otter Class)

Lots of different versions of traditional tales such as Little Red Hen and The Three Little Pigs.

Non-fiction books can also be great for sharing and discussing. Topics such as animals, insects, the human body, space and sport are very interesting even to the youngest pupils. If you go somewhere that captures their interest such as the zoo or the seaside, consider encouraging your child to buy a book from the shop at the end of their visit instead of a plastic toy.

Lots more  information can be found in our class booklet. Click on the general information link above and you can find an electronic copy.
