What a busy week of learning it has been! Here are the highlights:
Library
This week I shared the story 'Harry and the Dinosaurs Have a Very Busy Day'. This was linked to our shape focus. We concentrated on the following shapes: triangle, square, rectangle, circle, semicircle and diamond. We drew big shapes in the air and used language such as 'long, 'short' and 'round'
Physical Development
We practised our climbing skills in the big playground on the climbing frame, we enjoyed spinning around on the SuperNova, playing football and riding the bikes and trikes. We also practised blowing bubbles and mark making with water and paintbrushes.
Maths
As well as our story above, we played a game on the IWB called 'Shape Shuffle' on our busythings website.
Afternoon Group Activities
I shared a story called 'Paula the Vet'. Ms Precious focused on asking and answering questions using 'who?', 'what?', 'where?', 'how?' and 'why?' Whilst Ms Clarissa played a listening game
Other Events
Animal Visit
Koto and Melissa from Animal Rescue and Care (ARC) visited us with two dogs called Misty and Ziggy . In the previous ARC session, the children had learnt about how to approach an owner and his dog safely if they wanted to stroke the dog. This week the children practised doing this. Most children wanted to approach and stroke one of the dogs. We were impressed with how calm the children remained and how gently they stroked the dogs. Next week, we will be visited by a vet.
How You Can Support Your Child At Home
-We share weekend news most Monday mornings. Please talk to your child in English or their home language about their favourite activities over the weekend.
Notices
-No splash pool next week due to the ongoing construction next door. We will be spending more time in the big playground and gym to ensure children continue to have the opportunity to develop their physical skills
-Thank you for sending in your family photos. It would be wonderful to see a photo from every child in the class so if you haven't sent one in it, there is still time!
Thank you for your continuing support. Please see below for photos.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kind Regards,
Gurvinder and the F2 team
