This week we have been learning about the world, the continents and flags!

We have had a super last week of the half term and continued learning about Minibeasts. The children have made ladybirds, bees and butterflies. They have created patterns with Minibeasts and played Minibeasts games. We have made spider biscuits The weather has also been kind to us, so we’ve had fun learning outside. We wish you all a safe and happy half term holiday and look forward to seeing you all back afterwards for the final few weeks of the school year.

Another fun week in Foundation Stage! This time reading the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and starting to look at Minibeasts. The children have loved making caterpillars and butterflies and had a great time exploring outside, looking for Minibeasts!

This week we have been learning all about sea creatures and have loved sharing Commotion in the Ocean and The Rainbow Fish story. We have made seahorses, jelly fishes and decorated the Rainbow Fish. Both FS1 and FS2 have been working really hard on their RWI lessons. Well done to the FS2 children who have read at home 3 times this week, let’s all aim to do it next week!

We have had a great week learning all about farm animals. We have made cows, pigs, cockerels and sheep! FS2 have written some super sentences and FS1 have done a great job of sorting pictures according to their sound. We also had a very exciting visitor……Percy the goat!

We have had another super week exploring different types of pets, their homes and how we look after them. We have looked at what vets do and how they help us care for our animals.

We have had a great first week back and it has been lovely to hear all about the children’s Easter holidays. This half term our theme is ‘All creatures great and small’ and this week we have been learning about jungle animals. The children have loved pretending to be animals in our role play area! They have also made giraffes, tigers and paper chain snakes amongst lots of other fun activities. The weather has also been kind to us, so we’ve enjoyed learning outside too.

What a fabulous last week of the term we’ve had! We have learnt about the Easter story, decorated eggs, made chicks and made the Easter bunny. The children have worked super hard and have been really enthusiastic to try all the activities. Egg rolling was also lots of fun! We wish you all a very Happy Easter and look forward to an exciting Summer Term when we return to school.

This week we have been learning all about the artist Andy Goldsworthy who creates sculptures using natural materials. The children loved going outside and collecting leaves, sticks, stones and fir cones to make their own sculpture in the style of him. They have also made lions and hedgehogs using paper leaves.

Another busy week in Foundation Stage! This week we have been learning about how we grow and the different stages of life. We have made our own human timelines and family trees. We also enjoyed looking at ourselves in the mirror and drawing self portraits. FS2 children are working really hard in maths and finding all the different ways to make 10 with two numbers.
