Spring Term 2026

Welcome to Foundation 2

We are really excited to start 2026 with the children and enjoying more learning fun.

Our Big Question this term is..

Ready for An Adventure?

During this term we are thinking about what makes characters in stories and us ready for an adventure. We will consider...

What is needed to go on an adventure? How are characters feeling about the adventure? What do they expect to happen on an adventure? What can you do if you need help on an adventure?

This work will help get ready for our next big adventure...our move into Year 1.

We will be reading a range of books and stories to help us with our learning across the curriculum and help us answer our big question including:

We will continue reading a Think Equal book each week. tThese books help us develop empathy, acceptance and understanding. They also help us to recognise different feelings and emotions and we will be reinforcing strategies we can use when we have them.

Supporting Learning and Playing at Home

Teach Your Monster to Read: Is a great resource to support those literacy skills.

Nature School

RSPCA: Also offers some lovely nature-related activities.

Learning Through Landscapes

Whiterose Maths: Continue to keep maths ideas flowing based around a book. You can usually find someone reading the book online if you search around.

Oxford Reading Owl: This has a free library. Aim for Phase 2 or 3 books from Letters and Sounds in the pulldown menu.

Starfall: Is a new website I found recently. Although American, it has some good resources matching the UK curriculum.

Phonics Play: They are giving free access to their games - Phase 2 and 3 are where you should aim for.

Phonics Bloom as above.

Ace Early Years: Have lots of ideas for English, maths, outdoors and funky finger-type activities.

Oak National Academy: Offers structured lessons on video for English, Maths and across the curriculum (foundation) activities.

You can also look out for virtual days at Chester Zoo and Longleat Safari Park and you might have seen Knowsley too.

Resources for Keeping Active and Fit

Cosmic Kids Yoga: 5 - 20 minute workouts.

Andy's Wild Workouts

Just Dance Clips e.g., Gummer Bear
