FS2
Welcome to Spring Term 2025. I am very excited to start our new academic year with our wonderful F2 class.
This term's topics are as follows:
· Long Ago
This project teaches children about how they have grown and changed since they were babies and how life in the past was different from today.
· Ready, Steady Grow
This project teaches children about food and farming and explores themes, including where food comes from, what plants and animals need to grow and survive and what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
PE
FS2's PE sessions this half term will take place on Tuesday. Please send your child with suitable outdoor clothing when required. Can you also ensure that earrings are removed on these days so that your child is able to take part in the lesson as we cannot remove these in school. Thank you.
I am aware that some children may find undressing and dressing difficult however we are here to support this and to build the children’s independence.
Reading
Early Reading is key to all we do and incredibly important across the whole of our curriculum, so your support is vital in helping your child develop the confidence and love of reading to reach their full potential.
These are the key texts we will be using this term:
Three Little Pigs
On the way home
Room and the broom
Jack and the beanstalk
Farmer
Aliens love underpants
Please see below useful links to support phonics at home with your child:
Set 1 phonics pictures and sounds
Book bags will be needed in school every day and will be changed in our class library every week. It is expected that children should read at home on a daily basis as part of their homework, listening to your child read for just ten minutes each day can have a significant impact on their reading skills and learning. Thank you for supporting your child in this.
If you have any queries about anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you
