Date: 7th Apr 2020 @ 1:08pm

Hi Children, 

We hope you are all okay and have enjoyed completing some of the 'My Granny Went to Market' activties last week. We have loved seeing all of the work and pictures you have sent in to the school's Facebook and Twitter pages. As we know you have liked the book so much we have thought of more activties linked to the story for you to complete. 

  1. Draw a picture of where you would go to on a magic carpet ride. 
  2. Ask a grown up to make a list of items around your house. Go on a scavenger hunt and find them.
  3. Draw and label foods that you might eat on your magic carpet ride.
  4. Write and draw a list of quantities and objects in your house e.g. 2 apples, 4 socks. 

Remember to keep practising writing your full name, the letters of the alphabet,  numbers to 20 and to share your work with schools Twitter page or Facebook Page! We love seeing the work you have done and your smiley faces!

Have fun and remember to keep washing your hands!

F2LW - Church Farm, by Miss Ward

Date: 12th Mar 2020 @ 8:31am

F2LW had a wonderful time at Church Farm yesterday!

We were introduced to the Farmers and we saw lots of different animals such as, pigs, goats, geese, meerkats and emu's. We went on an exciting tractor ride to go and feed some ponies, alpacas and donkeys. We then went to the Hen House and collected lots of eggs followed by holding some rabbits and guinea pigs. We learnt so much about the farm and are excited to continue our learning in the upcoming weeks.

F2 - Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds Week, by Miss Ward

Date: 29th Feb 2020 @ 3:43pm

This week, we have been learning about how to keep our bodies and our minds healthy. We talked about what foods are healthy and unhealthy, then we each made a healthy fruit kebab using a repeated pattern for snack time. They were very tasty! 

We also looked at how to keep our minds healthy by using our 'Zones of Regulation Chart', this helped us to look at  our different emotions and how to deal with them. We then participated in some breathing exercises and yoga which helped us feel very calm and relaxed. We have had a lovely week learning all about how to stay healthy!

We decided to make posters to inform people on how we can save the Rainforest. Look at the lovely posters that we have created!

This week F2 have been working hard learning about different habitats across the world! We have made habitat boxes, created leaflets, sorted which animals and plants live in the habitats and we also learnt a habitat song. On Friday we invited Year 1 to come over to our classrooms to share what we have learnt with them. The children had a fantastic time telling Year 1 about their learning and showing their work to them.
