Another busy week! An increasing number of children have been showing an interest in dinosaurs including their names and what they look like. Here's a round up of what F2T have been up to...
Maths
We have continued to explore shape by making pictures using 'Tap it!', playing a shape game on CBeebies and by looking for shapes in everyday objects.
Music
Mr Jon introduced a new song called magical Musical Box the children in which the children used their voices to imitate the sounds of instruments including maracas, scrapers and claves. The children also sang the song, 'Do Your Ears Hang Low?' Please see below for song words.
Library
We shared a story called Dinosaur Roar! In the story, we learnt lots of new words to describe the dinosaurs including lumpy, spiky, grumpy, fierce, short and tiny. We will practise using this vocabulary next week in the splash pool.
Physical Development
In the big playground this week, we enjoyed using the Dome (climbing frame), Super Nova, bikes and trikes and a target practice. The children are able to climb higher up but learning that if they do, then they must be able to get down by themselves safely. For our target practice activity, the children were asked to throw beanbags into the hanging hoops.
In the splash pool this week the children continued to practise blowing bubbles. Everyone can now blow bubbles with straws but we are now encouraging the children to blow bubbles by placing their noses and faces into the water. We also began practising putting our heads under the water.
Other areas
We have built a den as part of our role play area. Come and have a look! We will develop this over the coming weeks. At the moment, the children are enjoying dressing up as dinosaurs, putting on explorer hats and playing with the natural resources. They are beginning to look for dinosaurs!
Mako
We are very sad to say that today is Mako's last day with us. Mako and her family will be going back to Japan for a short time before beginning a new adventure in Jakarta! It has been a pleasure to get to know Mako over the last two years and we wish her and her family lots of luck with their move. We will miss you lots Mako!
How you can help at home
This is a popular song with the F2 children at the moment. There are several versions of it available on youtube.
Do Your Ears Hang Low?
Do Your Ears Hang Low?
Do They Wobble to and Fro?
Can You Tie Them in a Knot?
Can You Tie Them in a Bow?
Can You Throw Them Over Your Shoulder Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Golden Box
All children have now had a turn at taking the Golden Box and filling it with their favourite toys. We would now like to change the focus of the Golden Box so that each child brings in their favourite book. The book should be one that the child knows really well and looks at regularly. It can be in any language.
