Where the learning begins!
A big well done to all of Foundation Stage for their amazing performances in the nativity this week. We are all very proud of the wonderful job they did! Thank you all for coming and your support.
We have had lots of festive fun this week…..
Wrapping presents, playing with ‘snow’, making and decorating our very own FS Christmas tree and much more…
Enjoying Christmas dinner and festive dancing…
We made chocolate reindeer biscuits…
We embraced the cold weather this week and made icy and snowy biscuits.
Exploring the snow…
We wrapped up warm and had some fun in the icy snow! It made lots of crunchy and crispy sounds.
Using play dough and decorations to make Christmas trees…
Christmas mark making…
In Maths we have been looking at finding one more and one less.
We also enjoyed some yoga and dance in PE this week.
Do you have a Christmas tree at home? Can you spot any when you are out and about this weekend?
The children have thoroughly been enjoying the Stickman story and all the different activities. It’s also been a busy one with Christmas performance practising well under way.
FS2 have been investigating Numicon this week and also different ways of representing numbers.
On Wednesday morning we invited family and friends to join the children to make Stickmen. Thank you to everyone that was able to make it, it really was a fun creative morning and the finished creations are amazing and all so different. They are now being displayed in the front entrance of school which can be viewed through the window or when people come in for the Christmas performances.
We have had lots of fun this week reading the story Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and doing lots of activities linked to this story.
Mark making, stick painting and making our own stick men.
FS2 have been investigating different sticks and comparing the lengths. We also made different shapes using sticks. We talked about the shapes we could and couldn’t make and how many sides and corners different shapes had and how many sticks we would need.
We have had lots of fun exploring our new outdoor play equipment!
The children worked together to make a track to travel along and explored different ways of moving. They then made cars, trains and seesaws and worked together really well.
The children cut back the lavender this week. They showed very safe and careful cutting skills. We explored the lavender and made lavender chains.
We had fun making sparkly firework pictures.
On Monday afternoon FS2 made edible ‘sparklers’ with chocolate fingers and sprinkles. We had great fun eating them around the ‘fire’. The children shared their bonfire and firework stories and we talked about keeping safe when watching fireworks and using real sparklers.
We have enjoyed playing in the Foundation Stage Shop and looking at money this week as part of the whole school Money week. We went shopping and investigated different coins.
Remembrance Day.
We talked about what the Poppy represents and we did some fruit printing to make our own big Poppy. Some of us made our own poppies to wear.
We have also enjoyed playing lots of team building games.
We hope you all had a lovely half term break and are feeling refreshed and ready for a busy half term. The children have settled in well and have had a great week. We started back with all things bright for ‘Be bright be seen’ day and have been learning about festivals and celebrations including Halloween, Diwali and Bonfire night.
Wow! Half term already! The children have all settled into our routines and are enjoying all the different activities both inside and outside the classroom. Take a look below at another busy week…
We hope you all have a lovely half term break and can’t wait to have more fun with you when you come back!
Can you believe we only have 1 week left before half term. We have been having so much fun and learning new things the time has gone so quickly. Take a look below…
We enjoyed exploring the musical instruments earlier in the week and thinking about the different sounds they all make.
We have been busy outside the classroom too!
We received an exciting letter on Thursday….
We wrapped up in our coats and wellies and went on a dragon hunt in the pond. We found lots of baby dragons (also known as newts!) and it was very exciting!!
Autumn has well and truly arrived in Foundation Stage. We have enjoyed lots of different Autumn themed activities this week.
For PE this week we explored the trim trail out on the school field.
It was a bit of a challenge but everyone showed great perseverance and had lots of fun!
Our busy week continued…
