FS2

Welcome to Summer Term 2025. I am very excited to start our new term with our wonderful F2 class. 

 This term's topics are as follows:

· This project teaches children about the animals that live around the world, how to look after animals and the importance of caring for our local and global environments.

·    This project teaches children about the plants and animals that live at the seaside. It also explores holidays in the past and the importance of keeping safe in the Sun.

 PE                                                                                                                                                                           

FS2's PE sessions this half term will take place on Tuesday. Please send your child with suitable outdoor clothing when required. Can you also ensure that earrings are removed on these days so that your child is able to take part in the lesson as we cannot remove these in school. Thank you.  

I am aware that some children may find undressing and dressing difficult however we are here to support this and to build the children’s independence.


Reading 

Early Reading is key to all we do and incredibly important across the whole of our curriculum, so your support is vital in helping your child develop the confidence and love of reading to reach their full potential. 

 

These are the key texts we will be using this term:

Gigantosaurus 

What the ladybird heard

Someone swallowed Stanley

 Aliens love underpants 

Please see below useful links to support phonics at home with your child:

Set 1 phonics pictures and sounds               

Learning to blend at home                   

How to teach red words    

                                                                                                    

Book bags will be needed in school every day and will be changed in our class library every week. It is expected that children should read at home on a daily basis as part of their homework, listening to your child read for just ten minutes each day can have a significant impact on their reading skills and learning. Thank you for supporting your child in this. 

 If you have any queries about anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.  
  
Thank you
