Foundation Stage 1

Hello for the last time this academic year.

We just wanted to write a little note to say how much we have missed having you in school. We have missed your chatter and creativity. The school has been a very strange place without you. We are incredibly proud of all the activities you have done at home. Some of you have learnt to ride a bike and tried activities that you have never done before.

We have loved the work that you have sent us and especially the photos where we can see you smiling and enjoying your special time at home.

It is very strange not to be able to say goodbye to you in person. We wish you a safe and happy summer holiday.

This is an activity that Mrs lamb in FS2 has found for us to do, I hope you enjoy it.

Take care Mrs Cox, Miss Poole and Miss Eyley.

Home Learning w/c 20th July

Make a Lockdown Time Capsule

Create a ‘Lockdown Time Capsule’ to store away for the future or bury in your garden. There are many things you could include; below are some ideas and a link for some printable sheets:

A letter to whoever opens your capsule.
A newspaper clipping or print a news article from the Internet.
Drawings or photos.
Evidence of games or activities you did as a family.
Some diary entries.
A record of any special memories (for example: Clap for Carers).
Handprint or tracing of everyone in the family
A 2020 dated coin.
A couple of bits of clean toilet paper and a hand wipe (reminding you of how people were panic buying)

Gather everything together and place safely in a shoebox or something similar. You could also create a map and a set of instructions for whoever 'digs up' the capsule in the future.

Hello, Hope you are all staying safe.

I will Keep renewing the homework challenges.

If you would like any help or would like to contact me during this school closure please use my email and I will get back to you ASAP.
