EYFS – Foundation 2

Welcome to The Foundation 2 class page!

Here you can find lots of information about us so you can keep up to date with all of the exciting things that we get up to throughout the school year.

Miss Kuczak is our class teacher. Mrs Fraser, Mrs Dempsey, Miss Langford and Miss Bursztyn are our Teaching Assistants.

During this academic year, we will be communicating through the use of Class Dojo and sharing lots of the children’s wonderful work there too. Please do ensure you have set up your Class Dojo account in order to access this.

If you need to contact us at any time throughout the year, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We can be reached through the messaging feature on your Class Dojo account, via email or in school, by appointment with the school office.

Our Routines

Our school day begins at 8.45pm and ends at 3.15pm.

Reading for pleasure books will continue to come home each Monday and are chosen by your child. It is okay if they bring books home they have already read. This is a book for you to read to them at bedtime. It will need returning to school the following Monday please.

For PE, please send your child into school wearing their P.E kit (dark coloured tracksuit bottoms or leggings, a white t-shirt and a red hoodie/sweatshirt or their school jumper or cardigan and wearing trainers or plimsols).

We will be visiting Eco-Land very soon. We will keep you updated on that via Class Dojo. Please send your child into school with a suitable coat, sun hat/cap and wellies in a carrier bag.

We are going to be celebrating the languages, countries and cultures we have within our setting. Our ‘Everywhere Bear’ will bring us new books and our learning will be centred around those books. Keep an eye out on Class Dojo as I will post our new books and the new words he brings us too!
