Foundation Stage

Welcome to the page for Foundation Stage. My name is Mrs Crotty and I am the class teacher. I am supported  by Mrs Lawford and Miss Porter. Foundation stage is lots of fun and we learn through play. It is always quite lively. This age is very special we love it. There is a balance of child initiated and adult directed activities. Every child is taught at the level that they are at. We are very lucky as we have a large classroom with an adjoining soft play area . In the soft play area we have construction and roleplay. We also have an outside classroom. 

The school grounds are lovely we have a vegetable patch and beautiful willow tunnel and our own small school woods that we can use for all sorts of learning. We are also very lucky as we have a larger wood very close by and are able to use it as a teaching resource.

Every day there is some form of Numeracy and Literacy activity although it is always cross curricular and not always taught in isolation. We also teach phonics everyday and follow the Read Write Inc. Scheme. 

Please look at our school blog at the top of the website page. We write a note every week about our learning.

This half term we are studying castles and using our school grounds for minibeast hunts and growing vegetables. We also take the learning wherever the children want to go and so there are always sub topics going on. Let's hope for some lovely sunny weather this half term. Children need suncream on before they come to school. I am happy to help children apply suncream, but the children need to bring their own sun cream with their names on it.

Thankyou.
