Foundation Information Page
Hello and welcome to Foundation at Flitwick Lower School. We are Turtles and Dolphins, and we love to learn through our environment and experiences. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and work towards reaching the Early Learning Goals at the end of the Foundation Year. We are blessed with a spacious outdoor environment which allows for rich, purposeful play and self-directed learning. We take part in whole class learning, group work and child-initiated learning. Our learning is captured through photographs, videos and observations that allow staff to identify personalised learning opportunities and plan for possible next steps.

Spring Term Learning - Winter Wonderland & Monsters and Magic
This term we are learning all about winter this includes investigating the different animals that live in the Artic and how they survive. We will be thinking about the differences between winter and spring and how we can spot them.
Through a range of role play, speaking and listening, shared, group and individual reading, and shared and independent writing we will explore the genres of Narrative, Non-Fiction and Poetry.
Have a look at our Curriculum overviews to find out all the amazing learning we will be doing this term.
