Welcome to Foundation Stage 1
Our Class

Miss Plank |
Miss Taylor |
Miss Swift |
Welcome to FS1! My name is Miss Plank and I am the FS1 class teacher. Miss Taylor and Miss Swift are also part of our FS1 team. We learn through play and explore both our indoor and outdoor provision every day with teacher led activities planned too. In FS1 we nurture a love for learning and develop our independence ready for the rest of our school journey. We are also creative and learn together with our friends in imaginative ways. We have a lot of fun!
All of the children will need to bring a coat each day- we love to play outside, even in the rain! They will also need to bring a pair of named wellies to leave in school.
A bag of named, spare clothes (including socks) also needs to be left in school for any times a change of clothes is needed.
Our mission statement and school prayer
RE
We will begin to know that God loves and cares for each one of us. They will hear about and respond to the things God created for us and know that God has asked us to care for the world. Children will think of ways in which we can help to do it. They will begin to understand that God made each one of us different and special.
The children will be aware that God made all the people in the world to be part of his family and that we are part of it too. They will learn that God made us to know and love him and to show our love for him by helping one another. During the second half term we will begin to explore the Christmas story.
Writing
Children will begin to recognise their own name in different contexts and write some letters from it, creating marks with different materials. They will use a variety of media to create circles and lines to draw pictures. They will be encouraged to talk about the marks they make.
Reading
We love to share stories in FS1 and the children enjoy choosing their own books and spending time in our reading area. We read stories together every day as a class and the children also take home a book to share with their families. This half term our story time books will include:
Phonics
We follow the 'Little Wandle' phonics programme and are beginning our phonics work in FS1 listening into sounds, using alliteration and singing lots of songs and rhymes.
Here is a link to some videos of how to say the different sounds:
Mathematics
The children will join in with adults counting to 10 and beyond in everyday routines and in rhymes and number games. Children will begin to count up to 5 objects and respond to instructions such as 'please give me 2’.
We will be looking at quantities and develop their language using words such as 'more', ‘fewer’ and 'a lot.' Through playing in our construction area the children will use vocabulary related to shape and size such as short and tall. They will also begin to sort shapes and objects and look for patterns in the environment. The children will develop their understanding of the daily routines at school, talking about the days of the week and months of the year- we write the date together every day.
Our topic
Me and my world
Autumn 1
Our topic this half term looks at ourselves. We will be exploring what we look like and what our friends look like. We will be thinking about our families and where we live.
The children will be exploring this topic through all areas of our curriculum. Here are some of our exciting activities:
Reading stories about us- What is special about you?
Talking about being healthy- How can you keep healthy?
