The Foundation Stage Unit is where children learn from age 3 to
5 years of age.
Our Foundation Stage classroom environment is always changing along with the children’s learning
and fascinations.
These photos will give you an idea of what it is like, and how we learn in the Foundation Stage Unit.
It is organised so that the children always know where to find things and
can be independent.
This is our special meeting place where we come together to celebrate
birthdays and special times.
This is the studio
This is our library.
We learn to enjoy and tell stories in lots of ways, with our teachers and with our friends. Sometimes we use puppets, sometimes we use story trays, and sometimes we dress up and act stories out.
There are lots of
places to use your
imagination, and make
up your own
‘pretend’ stories.
There are lots of places to write too.
Playing with sounds and
rhythms helps us with reading writing, and
learning about pattern and
number. Our mums, dads and
grandparents often come and join in with rhythm and
rhyme time.
There are lots of places to learn about numbers and shape in our Foundation Stage too.
We learn to use instruction booklets.
We also learn how to use real tools safely to mend and make things, and information technology to help us.
We learn how to make healthy things to eat together, like toast, porridge, bread, soup, sandwiches, and fruit
kebabs.
In the Foundation Stage we seek to make the most
of every opportunity to learn through first hand experiences, so we go outside in all weathers!
There are spare wellies and waterproof suits so that we can have fun
learning outdoors whatever the weather.
Sometimes we bring outside things inside to look at them more closely.
We like to plant things and watch
them grow.
There are lots of
places to use your
imagination, and make
up your own
‘pretend’ stories.
We have lots of different things to make pictures,
patterns and models with.
We learn to do things for ourselves.
We all learn to help to tidy up.
Together we can do things we might not be able to achieve by ourselves.
We learn that
sometimes we have to
stick at things to
learn a new skill.
