Welcome to Foundation Stage 2
The children have had a fantastic first half term at Wales Primary School. We are so proud of how they have settled into the classroom routines and made friends during their first 8 weeks at school. The children have been sticking at their learning all half term so we hope they have a good rest and fantastic half term break.
We are looking forward to next half term when our learning will be based on the theme Celebrations. Please discuss special occasions you celebrate as a family and add some photos of family celebrations to your 'All About Me book' or email to rwoolhouse@walesprimary.co.uk so we can share in school. We would like to share your child's 1st birthday and a recent birthday so we can compare and discuss as a class and in group.
Welcome to Foundation Stage at Wales Primary School. We can't wait for your child to start their journey with us in September. We are looking forward to finding all about your child and your family. We will start looking your child's 'All About Me' book that we sent home in July this half term. The children usually can't wait to share their family photographs, drawings and talk all about their interests and family. We will look forward to your child learning new routines, making friends and building their confidence during their first term.
Please scroll down this class page to the files to download section. You will find a copy of the knowledge organiser detailing the class theme for this half term and the PowerPoint presentation from the Welcome to Wales Primary School meeting in June 2024.
