It’s all things festive in Foundation Stage. The children have been enjoying Santa’s workshop and have been dressing up as Santa and the elves. They have been busy writing lists, wrapping presents and decorating the Christmas tree. Outside, the North Pole has arrived and the children have been exploring and investigating the frost and ice now that the temperature has dropped.

Last week was busy – the children were outstanding in their Christmas play ‘Wriggly Nativity’, we are all very proud of their performance. A huge thank you to all the parents for providing the costumes and clothing. We look forward to seeing the performance that was filmed which will be available to buy soon.

On Thursday afternoon the FS2’s enjoyed going to the church for the Christmas carol service. The children independently made their own Christingles and some of the children were able to show these off in the church.

We have a busy last 4 days this week with the pantomime on Tuesday, party day on Wednesday and finishing with carols around the tree on Thursday afternoon we hope to see you there. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year, I know the children (and staff) are certainly ready for a good rest.

I hope you all had a lovely half term holiday, we’ve had a busy first week back.

It’s all things ‘People Who Help Us’ in Foundation Stage. Before the holidays the children enjoyed becoming doctors and nurses in the hospital and we were very lucky to have Doctor Cooper come in to talk to us and show us lots of equipment used by doctors. He then left some things for us to play with and use. We had great fun testing everything out.

This week we have enjoyed our new police station, being police officers and ‘putting’ people in jail. Outside we have enjoyed being fire fighters and using the fire hose.

On Thursday we talked about the poppies and why we were all wearing them. We watched a lovely short video that explained what we are remembering. We decorated biscuits, made collage poppies and today FS2 joined the whole school and parents for a special 2 minute silence.

Take a look at our pictures.

FS2 had a lovely end to the week on Friday afternoon by playing in the leaves – what fun we had!

It is all go in Foundation Stage …

What a great start to the new term we have had! Our classroom is a busy place and the children have all settled well and are enjoying exploring the classroom and outdoor area.

This week we are enjoying our ‘Foundation Stage Campsite’ outside. We have been having ‘sleepovers’ in the tent and have been packing our camping bags.

Take a look at our Foundation Stage areas and what we have been busy with this week …
