Dosbarth Un

Foundation Phase - Nursery, Reception & Year 1

​

Our theme for this half term is 'Jungles and Rainforests'. 

​

To welcome our wonderful Foundation Phase children back after a long period of remote learning, we held an enrichment day. This involved dressing up as a jungle or an endangered animal and participating in cross-curricular activities related to the theme. We raised money to adopt an endangered animal which the children voted for. We have adopted a Tiger from the WWF charity but we have also adopted a Rhino from Folly Farm. We have got a soft toy of each animal which are now our class mascots. The tiger's name is Rory. 

​

Full-Time Nursery, Reception and Year 1 Talk for Writing text this term is 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

​

Part-Time Nursery Talk for Writing text this term is 'Dear Zoo'.

​

As the children have been away from school for such a long time, well-being is going to be our main focus. We are going to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible by planting seeds in our polytunnel ready to harvest in the Summer term for our topic 'Old McDonald's Farm'.  

​

Summer 1 Theme - All creatures great and small

Summer 2 Theme - Old McDonald's Farm

RE Display - Collective Worship Area

This is our current RE display which displays all of our Christian values in the shape of a cross. Around the display is some of the children's work that they did on 'Friendship'. 

​

Our value for this half term is - Compassion. 

​

This area is a reflection area and an area where they can draw/write a prayer.

Reading 

We encourage you to read daily with your child at home as well as going through their sound cards. Due to the current Covid circumstances we ask that you bring your child's reading folder in on a Friday so we can change their book ready for the weekend. In class we listen to readers regularly as well as weekly guided reading, shared reading and daily phonics.
