 The Foundation Stage 1 children had a great time acting out the story of "Stickman" by Julia Donaldson this week. On forest learning we collected sticks, twigs and lots of different natural objects to make our very own stick people.  We have also been very busy making our fantastic Christmas tree cards and bumblebee calendars. 

Foundation One Christmas Play

On Thursday and Friday, the Foundation Stage One children took part in an excellent performance of 'The Christmas Nativity’ story. The Christmas nativity story was told through beautiful singing and actions. We are really proud of all the children who took part in these performances. Well done and thank you to all the staff for their hard work too.

A big thank you to all the parents and carers for their support.

Autumn 2 - Week 2

The Foundation Stage 1 children have been exploring Anti Bullying and we have been "treating everyone with respect" through a range of books this week. "Giraffe Is Left Out" taught us what bullying is and "How To Be A Lion" showed us some reasons why people bully.  We have learnt about STOP which remind us that bullying is Several Times On Purpose and that we have to Start Telling Other People.

We have also been learning about and looking for rhyming words within our story of the week “Oi frog by Kes Gray”.

This week the Foundation Stage One children enjoyed using puppets to act out and retell the story of "Elmer" by David McKee.
