Hello from the Foundation Team. We are really excited that you are starting your educational journey at Straits Primary School. We are looking forward to a busy and fun filled year ahead. We can't wait to see you learn and grow! Please keep an eye out on our year group page for key information and to take a sneak peak at some of the fantastic learning that goes on inside and outside our classrooms.

During summer term our topic will be:

'Our Wonderful world'

During this topic we explore the natural world around us and learn about how things grow. We hunt for minibeasts, observe eggs hatching and caterpillars turning to butterflies. We also learn about how seeds and what plants need to grow. We then go down to the farm and look at farm machinery and all the animals that live there. Lastly we explore the seasons and the effects their changes have on our environment. 'Our Wonderful world'. During this topic we explore the natural world around us and learn about how things grow.
