This week we have started our new learning all about Space! We watched a video about an alien crash landing at school a few years ago and Miss Baker shown us some of the items she kept like alien goo, moon rocks, plugs, nuts and bolts!
We have found out lots about what happens in Space and how astronauts live in the space stations. Here are some cool videos to watch at home…
Get up and join in with this song and dance all about the planets…
There is still time to enter the reading competition 🙂
Today we finished our dinosaur learning with a special visit from Neil and his dinosaur dome! Before we went into the dome, the children impressed Neil with their dinosaur knowledge. We also had a look at some real dinosaur fossils, bones and poo! Inside the dome it was dark but magical as dinos came to life across the walls! We looked at different landscapes, under water, how dinosaurs hunted and how they become extinct! Well done to all of Grayling Foundation for your super listening ears and fantastic learning.
Happy half term everyone!
We have had a busy time this week practising our gymnastic skills in PE, creating paper plate dinos, exploring real fossils, dressing up as numbers and so much more!
Special thanks to Jon from Sustrans for coming into school to read us a story about a giraffe on a bicycle during our Thursday assembly and special thanks to all of you for your kind donations for Number day!
We have begun our new learning this week all about Dinosaurs! The children have been amazing at talking about facts they already know and posing questions for our research. Here is a virtual library for you to enjoy dinosaur stories, facts and drawings at home. Please click on the download link below and then you can click on the books and dinosaurs.
We have been learning about addition using the part part whole method this week in maths. During lockdown we created vidoes to help with this learning at home. Please ignore the introduction but enjoy the maths video below…
Thank you so much for joining us for our stay and phonics session on Wednesday.
Have a lovely weekend!
Here is the phonics video to match our learning from this week. We are nearly at the end of our phoneme books so keep going!
The past 2 weeks, all of Foundation have attended their very own assemblies on Thursday mornings. So far, we have talked about our school value ‘integrity’, what it means and listened to some examples through stories and songs. Here are the songs to listen to at home…
Have a great weekend! I wonder what new learning we will begin on Monday….
Here is the phonics video to recap the digraphs and tricky words that we have learnt this week…
In maths we have enjoyed racing games outside and car racing inside to learn about ordinal numbers (1st,2nd,3rd). We also enjoyed listening to this funny story and pretending to be the animals waiting in a queue for the loo!…

Happy New Year!
We have begun our first week getting back into our daily routines, learning new digraphs and a trigraph in phonics and exploring number pairs to 10. Here is this weeks phonics video…
For the first 3 weeks, lots of our learning will be focused on Winter and we have talked about the weather and the clothes we might need to wear outside. We have also enjoyed listening to the story of The Mitten. Please enjoy this at home too…
Have a great weekend!
We hope you all have a magical christmas and a well needed rest 🙂 See you in the new year!
It has felt very christmassy in Grayling Foundation this week. Every day we add a new advent decoration to our christmas tree and talk about advent calendars we may have at home.
In busy bees we have been enjoying playing dice games together, acting out santa with his reindeers and elf helpers, making cinnamon playdough cookies and getting very creative with the construction cubes!
Here’s to one more festive filled week and a reminder that it is our Christmas play on Monday! Families are welcome to come and watch at 1.30pm 🙂
Hope to see you all then
