Hello from the Foundation Team. We are so proud of the children's progress so far and we are looking forward to the fun filled term ahead. During Sumer term we will develop our confident to try new activities and show independence, resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge. We will look at working and playing cooperatively and take turns with others.

Our topic this term will be:

• 'Our Wonderful World'. We will have hands on experiences of life cycles, the seasons and growing plants. We will have our first school trip to Kingswood where one of the activities is toasting bread over a fire! We will also see the arrival of some special visitors that we will need to take good care of. Keep an eye out for pictures of their arrival.

Please keep your eye on this page and Evidence Me for key information and to take a sneak peak at some of the fantastic learning that goes on inside and outside our classrooms.

If you have any questions please feel free to speak to a member of staff or you can email us at
