Foundation Stage Learning 

Welcome to our Weekly Blog!

Week beginning - 19th October

This week the whole school will be celebrating Black History month.

Oracy

As part of Black History Week, we will be reading Coming to England by Floella Benjamin, which tells the true story of her journey from Trinidad to England as a young girl. We will explore her experiences of moving to a new country, the challenges she faced and the importance of kindness, belonging and celebrating our differences.

Phonics 

F1

Focus of the Week: Oral blending

Rhyme of the Week: Ba Baa Black Sheep

F2

This week we will be recapping all the sounds and tricky words we have learnt this half term. The children will complete their first Little Wandle phonics assessment.

Please continue to practise these phonics sounds at home.

Children will not take home reading books until after October half term but will choose a library book every Friday.
