Foundation Stage

Welcome to our Foundation unit where Miss Barker, Miss Machin and a team of teaching assistants provide a fabulous learning environment for the young starters at Broadbent Fold.


Autumn Term

In the Autumn Term we learnt about Winter and Polar Animals. We read books such as Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, Winnie in Winter and The Magic Sky. These are wonderful books that tell stories about Artic animals. Children painted snowy animals. In Maths children counted penguins and in FS2 children have added numbers together and wrote their own number sentences using dice and numicon to help them. Children are learning letter sounds. (For further information on Jollly Phonics feel free to ask or search on the internet for video clips to share with your child).


Spring Term

During the Spring Term our creative theme is Jungles and Rainforests. We have been reading exciting books such as Rumble in the Jungle, Monkey Puzzle, Night Monkey and Day Monkey. Children have painted, made animal patterns and taken part in imaginative role play based on the jungle theme. Daily practise of letters and sounds, regular singing and counting continues in the Foundation Stage.


Summer Term

Our Foundation Stage topic is growing. We are planting lots of different seeds and watering them. We are reading “Jack and the beanstalk” and counting forwards and backwards.


Creative Maths Week at Broadbent Fold

Foundation Stage have been singing "five currant buns". We have made our own currant buns, they were delicious! We have been looking at coins and have made our own coins out of salt dough. The children particularly enjoyed the visit from Dave Godfrey and all the new song he taught us.
