Welcome back to school!
We hope you’ve all had a happy and healthy summer break. We’re both looking forward to seeing you all and hearing your news.
Below is a list of key points to remember:
- Mrs Freeman will be working on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays.
- Mrs Welsby will be working on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.
- Mrs Walton will be with us all week.
- Please ensure your child has a coat (named) every day.
- Water bottles can be brought into school and can be refilled throughout the day.
- PE is on a Tuesday and a Friday. Your child should come to school in PE kit on those days. They will remain in their kit for the whole day.
- The school uniform policy is on our website. Please check if you are unsure about any items of clothing or footwear.
- If you have come across any reading books or library books, please bring them back into school.
- PLEASE put your child’s name in their jumpers, cardigans and coats!
- School starts at 08:50, so see you then!
Please do ask if you have any queries.
Mrs Freeman and Mrs Welsby
See you soon!
We’re looking forward to meeting you this week and thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves. Although we were lucky enough to meet some of you in July we have not met everybody in Year 1 and 2 yet!
My name is Mrs Flynn. I will be teaching you on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. When I’m not at school I enjoy baking and going on bike rides.
My name is Mrs Palmer. I will be teaching you on a Thursday and Friday. I enjoy walking and cooking at the weekends.
Thank you!
I can’t believe it’s the last day of school!
Even though the school year has been a bit of a crazy one, this video highlights what a fantastic year you’ve all had!
I just want to say that I am so proud of all of you and how you’ve persevered with all of your learning both in school and at home.
Thank you to all the F2 children for being such an amazing class! I sure will miss you next year.
I will make sure I pop my head into your new classroom to see how you’re all getting on.
On the other hand, I am excited to welcome back our F1 children and continue their learning journey in Reception.
Have the best summer Foundation!

Animal Day
We had great fun today raising money for charity by dressing up as animals.
We made masks (and tails) and revised our knowledge about different animal groups.
Times Tables Rockstar Champions
Well done to all of you for completing a week of home learning. We hope you’ve had a productive week and managed to get into your gardens for some fresh air and exercise.
An extra well done to those children who have been practising their times tables on Times Tables Rockstars. The following children are our Times Tables Rockstar champions!
Health week
We’ve had a happy and healthy week doing lots of fun activities.
Personal Challenges
On Monday, Thursday, and Friday we had a go at 3 challenges: speed bounce, standing long jump, and a stork balance. The children recorded their scores on their personal challenge cards to see if they managed to beat their previous scores.
Sports day
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to watch.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Dance workshop
On Tuesday, a lady from Wetherby Arts Festival came to teach Foundation some contemporary dance moves. Throughout the session, we used our imaginations to create different moves.
At the end of the workshop, we used all the skills we had learnt to create our own simple routines.

F2 Parents
Please can all reading books be returned by Wednesday 21 July.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend in the sunshine.
Home learning
We are half way through our self-isolating and I know that some of you have been working really hard. Many people have been doing the on-line lessons as well as the zoom lessons with me. If you have difficulty getting onto the zooms, you can ring school and ask for some paper copies to keep you going.
In fluency, we used our vocabulary from the text to put into our own sentences. (Even Mrs Rowley joined in!) Here are a few of them:
Edward: Looking sterner than an angry tiger, the lady yelled at the poor boy.
Caleb: I felt awkward when I addressed the queen.
Ellie: She looked sterner than my new cat with only one bit of dried food.
Mrs Rowley: Mrs Welsby is much sterner than Mrs Rowley!
Siana: I fell over so sharply that I almost didn’t recover. My mum was sterner than ever because I’d ruined my new jeans.
Willow: Boris Johnson addressed us with the awkward news about Covid.
Emilija: My mum was really stern when my rabbit chewed through the TV wires.
We’ve been learning about fractions in Maths and Ellie has sent in a healthy lifestyle poster to remind us to keep up our daily exercise. Some of the class are completing regular 5 minute workouts with Joe Wicks and others have been running their daily mile round their garden.
Don’t forget to email in pictures of your fabulous work! It keeps Mrs Rowley, Mrs Walton and me smiling through self-isolation!
