The Foundation Stage 2 Newsletter
Wednesday 23rd January 2019
Topic
This week we looked at Savannah’s
(grasslands) which featured in the story book
‘Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain’. We located
Kenya on the world map and talked about
the animals that might live there. We then
created some amazing sunset/silhouette
pictures and experimented mixing paints to
find different colours.
Literacy
This week in Literacy, we
read the book ‘Bringing the
Rain to Kapiti Plain’, a
beautifully illustrated book capturing the
essence of the African plains. We discussed
what a savannah is and what is unique
about the habitat of the savannah. The
children were then able to research a
savannah animal in order to complete the
next page of their zigzag animal fact
books.
In Phonics, we learnt the trigraph sound
igh, and the digraph sound ur, we have
also continued to revise all previously
taught digraph sounds. Please continue to
revise the words and sounds in the blue
Phonics book.
In Maths this
week, the children have
been learning a very
important skill; doubling.
They have also been
learning to use the + and = signs.
Notices Please do your best to have your child
arrive at school by 8am.
Toy Pets
Your child is
allowed to bring in
a toy pet to use in
the Vets Role play
area in class. Please
make sure it has
your child name
and class on it if possible.
Named belongings
Please ensure names are on coats and
jackets.
