FS2 Notices

Our last full week in FS2 - a mixture of excitement and sadness!  However, all our incredible children are so ready to move up to year 1, whether at BSM or elsewhere.

As we come to the end of a wonderful year, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you for all your support, kindness, and partnership throughout FS2.

To our amazing children, we are so proud of everything you have achieved. It has been a joy to watch you learn, grow, and shine. We wish you the very best of luck as you move on to Year 1 – we know you will do brilliantly!

Thank you for all the special memories. We will miss you and wish you a happy, successful, and exciting future.

The FS2 children will visit Year 1 on Monday next week - for our moving up morning.

It was wonderful to see all our Super Hero dads at school this week! The mask making was awesome and some of you even braved the dressing up box!  We appreciated your time and had lots of fun. 

Phonics

The final phonics assessment for transition to year 1 is complete and has been stuck in your child’s PO.  These have informed teacher judgements and the achievements of the Early Learning Goals.   We have also sent a holiday pack home to support learning and activities. 

There will be no more reading books and we will not require the PO next week either. 

As usual, support material is available on the Google Classroom. This remains open for the first few weeks of the summer holiday. Please support the year 1 team and your child over the vacation. . A little practice every day is now essential. 

Maths

In Maths we are having a final week on one more and one less, and simple addition.  When doing addition we are using practical resources like cubes, numicon and ten frames using language like plus, add, together and equals. 

Thank You 

Thank you to everyone who has kindly brought in food for our tortoises and for Snowy the rabbit. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and helps us to care for our class pets. The children love helping to look after them and learning about the importance of kindness and responsibility towards animals.  

Monster Phonics

Monster Phonics have created a series of short, practical parent videos designed to guide families through how to support early reading and phonics in a simple and accessible way. These are ideal for sharing with parents to build confidence and consistency between school and home. Please see the Monster Phonics poster here. 

Uniform and Equipment

PE is on a Tuesday (children wear their PE clothes to school all day).

Swimming is on a Thursday (again children wear their PE clothes all day). Please bring in swim wear, towels and ‘crocs’ type shoes in a small bag. Swim hats for long hair please. Goggles are optional.

Correct uniform is to be worn by the children, please check the school website if you are unsure. However, we accept simple alternatives in the first weeks of the year especially with PE and swimming kits. Please speak to a teacher if you have any worries.

House colours for PE t-shirts are sent via the Parent Portal.  Ruwi is Red, Yitti is Yellow, Ghubra is Green and Bowsher is Blue. 

Please can we remind you to label all snack boxes, water bottles and other items that children bring into school, this prevents any upset when children mix up their belongings with others. 

Every child should bring a bottle of water every day. We are able to support them with refilling if they need more at any time. Juices and other drinks are not necessary at school - but can be given as a supplement inside their lunch box if you so wish. 

Google Classroom

• If you are still experiencing problems with the Google Classroom please let the Primary Office know and we will endeavour to support you.

• The FS2 timetables are uploaded into a folder on each Google Classroom.

• During the course of the year, we will also upload optional activity packs and resources to use at home.
