Autumn 1: Once Upon a Time...
This half term we will explore Traditional Tales, starting with the classic 'The Gingerbread Man.' We will immerse ourselves in the story, getting to know the characters through art and literacy. We will also read and understand instructions to make our own tasty gingerbread man and explore the use of textiles to make our very own hand puppets.
As we approach the festive season we will learn to perform the poem 'Twas the night Before Christmas.' we will write lists, make gifts, decorate our classroom and compare family traditions with our friends. As you can see we have a very busy half term ahead of us.
Remember, 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 sharing these memories/achievements with their friends and teachers.
Join us on another fabulous half term of learning fun.

Reading
Every week, in Foundation 2, we will calculate the number of '3 reads' that we achieve at home each week. Reading is an essential skill necessary to access all aspects of the curriculum. Please remember to date and sign your child's reading record each time you read together. Pupils who complete three reads are awarded a Track It point. Additional reads score one more Track It point.
