Golden children

This week we celebrate the attitudes of these very special children;

Jared always does the right thing at school. He is exploring the different areas of our classroom and currently enjoying painting lots of different things.

Elise;  I could easily forget Elise is in my class because she is always quietly getting busy in the areas of our classroom. She is a wonderful friend and a pleasure to be around.

Fun in our final week of term

Where have the weeks gone? I really can't believe only 8 weeks ago we had new children starting FS2 class. Look at them now!! We have independent, sensible and hard working children accessing the areas of the classrooms.

Here is the final slide show of this half term. Look out for pumpkins, dragons, colour mixing and worms.

Making faces

Drawing on the pumpkin was a very popular activity this week. Some children wrote their names and other children made faces. What do you think to Alfie's pumpkin, do you think it is scary or friendly?

Have a lovely half term everyone!!

FS2 find out about Black History Month

FS2 listened to the story called The Colours of Us. If you'd like to hear it again, there's a video below.

We  noticed that everyone in class had a different skin tone, just like in the story. 

Our heart made with our hands

Looking after our teeth!

In FS2 this week we have been thinking about looking after our teeth.

We discussed how to look after our teeth. All the children said they need to brush their teeth on a morning and at night before bed. They could all explain which foods are bad for our teeth and which foods are healthier for us.

We do know a lot about looking after our teeth but some of us have not been to visit a dentist before. We then talked about what it is like at the dentist, what will happen when you go there and why it is important to visit the dentist every 6 months.

To help us with this we watched a film about going to the dentist and read a story about Kipper visiting the dentist.

We have a slideshow of some photos.

Write back and tell me about your toothbrush, what colour is it?

Our learning in FS2

We've had another great week. FS2 have been finding letter sounds, recognising numerals and counting pegs.

Look out for the Trim Trail in the slide show below.

Drawing inside the box

FS2 love playing with cardboard boxes. When I saw this big one ready to be thrown away, I knew FS2 would like it in class. In this photo you can see Connor inside it with a friend. They are writing and drawing in it.

PE and the parachute!

Our PE topic this term is; 'Sense of Space.'

We have been working on using the space in the hall safely and becoming more spatially aware as we move around.

We have now moved onto developing spatial awareness whilst using the parachute.

Have a look at the slideshow.

Big Talk

Here is the Big Talk photo for this week

This week’s task is slightly different to last week.

You have to use your imagination and make suggestions of how this object could be used.

Could be for cutting something?

Could it be used to hang things from?

Does it belong to a giant?

Could a family of mice use it?
