Welcome to Foundation Stage

Terms 5 and 6

In term 5, we will be exploring the theme of growing in exciting and interactive ways! We’ll start by looking at how we have all grown since birth, so we’ll be asking for a baby photograph from each child. Together, we’ll identify the ways we’ve changed and discuss all the amazing things we can do now that we couldn’t as babies.

We’ll also learn about plant growth by planting our own beans in class and observing their development. As part of our learning, we’ll take a trip to Tesco to buy a selection of fruits and vegetables, which we’ll taste back at school. We’ll investigate where these foods come from, identifying whether they grow in hot or cold countries and locating them on a world map.

In our final term, we will be learning all about Minibeasts! We’ll go on exciting minibeast hunts, exploring the school’s Forest School area to discover different creatures, their habitats, and what makes them special.

In Maths, we’ll continue building confidence with numbers up to 20 and beyond, reinforcing all the number work we have covered throughout the year.

As the term progresses, we will also focus on a smooth transition to Year One, preparing the children for their next exciting step at Cheriton Primary School. We’ll celebrate their progress and wish them well as they meet their new teachers and get ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
