Foundation Stage Unit
Welcome to the Foundation Stage Unit
(Age 2- 7)
Fledglings, Tadpoles, Caterpillars & Hoglets
Autumn Term 2019
Superheroes, Toys, Harvest
It has been a super start to the term with all our children settling well into the Foundation stage Unit. Our groupings are Fledglings (2-4 year olds) Tadpoles (EYFS) Caterpillars (Year 1) and Hoglets (Year 2) The children themselves researched many different creatures and then discussed, until they decided these group names. "We're all going to grow and change" was a theme reiterated by the children. Oracy is a fundamental part of class life and the heart of our classroom, come and see our stem sentences which help us!
As well as myself, our Foundation Stage team consists of Mrs Barratt, who has a wealth of experience in Early years provision. We also welcome Mrs Westlake, to our setting, who too, is an experienced practitioner. As a team we rotate so that we have opportunity to work with all the children.
Building work over the summer holiday has been completed and we are now enjoying the fabulous conservatory and the new lay out of the classroom.
The happiness of the children is paramount, if you have questions or concerns please make an appointment.
Mrs Cawsey

Trip to Tesco
To link with our topic on 'Food', we had a trip to Tesco. We learnt about bread and made bread rolls, as well as having a tour of the warehouse. We explored the fish and cheese counters and got to taste a variety of fruits. What a great day!

Pancake Day!
The Infants enjoyed learning about Shrove Tuesday and making (and eating) pancakes. They followed the instructions carefully and enjoyed a selection of toppings, including lemon, sugar, syrup, banana and chocolate spread! What great inspiration for our instruction writing in English.
