Foundation – Grade 2
Foundation · Year 1 · Year 2
Forty weeks plus Respectful Relationships, the most-used School of Play curriculum.
The years that set everything.
Foundation to Year 2 is where school identity forms, where kids decide whether learning feels safe, whether they belong, and whether their voice matters. This curriculum, our most-used and deepest at forty-plus weeks, gives you a daily five-minute ritual that builds those foundations quietly but consistently. Watch the welcome video before Week One, the four-lesson weekly structure will make far more sense once Dale's walked you through it.
Four activities. One rhythm.
Each week holds four activities. Use one per day, or run them all in a single session, whatever fits your week.
The simplest way to use it.
