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. 

Spring Term: Poetry

Happy New Year. This half-term we will be introducing the children to 'poetry' and, of course, continuing to focus on the prime areas of learning: Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal Social and Emotional Development as we welcome new children into the Foundation Stage. 

We will read some of our favourite A.A. Milne, Spike Milligan and Michael Rosen poems – using these to develop our self-confidence in rhyming and performing in front of others.  We will create our own poetry and learn how to 'sketch' as we draw illustrations.  As part of our Understanding of the World curriculum, we will be finding out about the Royal Family and participating in the RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch project.  We really do have a lot of exciting learning in store.

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.

Reading

 From  week 2 of Autumn 1 all Foundation 2 children will bring home a Little Wandle Reading Book. 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.
