Foundation Stage Blog – 30 September 2016

The children have thoroughly enjoyed their first full-time week in FS2! They have been busy exploring the area and developing relationships with their friends. It has been wonderful to see the children engaged in their play and making independent choices about their learning.

The children were introduced to daily phonics sessions following the Read Write Inc. (RWI) scheme (written by Ruth Miskin) and were excited about learning a new sound each day, to consolidate their learning the children were given a sheet for each sound they had learnt to practise at home.

A highlight of the week was when the children put their trainers on and went to the outdoor climbing equipment. There were many smiley faces and the children were keen to show the adults what they could do on the various pieces of equipment. They showed great perseverance when learning how to use the apparatus and move from one piece to the next, whilst keeping their balance.
