Foundation Stage
Last Updated August 2026
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.
Autumn 1: How do I become a Super Lawns Parker?
This half-term our main emphasis will be upon the three areas of Prime Learning; Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. Along with the 'Characteristics of Effective Learning', these three areas are the bedrock of successful outcomes for our youngest learners.
We will be exploring the setting, using equipment with care, purpose and intention. Building relationships with our new friends and teachers, finding out about each other and the things that make us unique and developing our independence and enquiry skills so that we continue to be curious, successful learners.
Through the power of talk, stories and song we will explore rhyme, make predictions, share opinions and learn new vocabulary. Our key texts and rhymes for this half-term will be:
Humpty Dumpty and other traditional rhymes
Little Lumpty – Miko Imai
After the Fall – Dan Santat
Each Peach Pear Plum – Janet and Allan Ahlberg
In maths we will be exploring early mathematical concepts and investigating numbers within 5.
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.
