Foundation 2 Summer 1 2024

Welcome back to school. We hope you have had a restful holiday.

We have planned an exciting and busy half term through the topic of ‘From the Forest to the Coast.’ We will be reading and enjoying a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books that help us to learn about the similarities and differences between forests and woodlands and the coastlines.

We will focus more heavily on ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘Sharing a Shell’ as our key texts. The children will spend time reading, acting and learning to re-tell the story with their friends. We will learn all about the creatures that live in forest and woodlands and by the coast. We will think about their habitats, what they eat, how they survive and what we can do to help them survive. The children will spend time identifying the similarities and differences between the environments and animals and discussing them with their friends. We will talk about the children’s own experiences of both habitats and decide as a class which habitat is our favourite.

If you would like any more details, please see our knowledge organiser.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to come and see us - preferably at the end of the day.
