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 spring term our topics will be:
- 'People Who Help Us'. We will have lots of exciting visits from people who work in our community. They will tell us all about their important job roles and how they help us.
- 'Space'. The children will explore outer space and learn about our solar system, whilst sharing lots of fabulous fiction and nonfiction texts.
If you have any questions please feel free to speak to a member of staff or you can email us at
