Welcome to our Foundation Stage webpage. A place where we celebrate children's learning, keep you informed about school life and provide you with trusted sites to support your child and continue the learning journey at home. 

Below, you can take a look around your classroom. We wonder where you will choose to play and learn?

Under the 'Information' section you will find our 'subject planners.' These documents show what your children will be learning each week as they progress through the term. 

Summer 2: Marvellous Minibeasts

This half-term we will explore the world of minibeasts! We will go on bug hunts, describe what we see and use this to identify the creatures we find living around school and in our gardens. We will develop our scientific vocabulary as we learn new words and explore their meanings. We will study the artist Henri Matisse and specifically look closely at his masterpiece 'The Snail.' This will inspire us to create our own minibeast collages. As always, we simply love to read in Foundation Stage. This half-term we will be exploring lots of different text types, including information books/posters, stories and poems. These will all support and consolidate our new minibeast knowledge and, of course, develop our imaginations.

Don't forget you can keep abreast of the learning your child will be engaging in by having a look at our 'subject planners' under the information heading.

You can share your child's 'out of school' experiences with us via our class email address. F1@lawnspark.org.uk. We really do appreciate these contributions; it is wonderful to see your children proudly share these memories/achievements with their friends and teachers.

Join us for a fabulous half-term of learning fun.

Your child will be familiar and confident with this book, having read it at least three times with an adult in school. Please share this book with your child and make a comment in their reading diary.  Please also use this diary to record  any other books you may have shared at home.   At Lawns Park we encourage all our parents and carers to read at least three times at home with their child.
