Our first topic in F2 has been learning ‘All About Me’. We have discussed what we look like- looking closely at our facial features in the mirror to see what their face looks like! We noticed our eyes, nose, ears, mouth, head, hair and even our eyebrows! We discovered that we all have different coloured eyes and hair which makes us special and unique!
After making these close observations we created our very own self-portraits which have been coming along nicely. Everyone tried really hard to start off with a big circle. Well done everyone!

Can you guess what story we have been reading this week from the clues below?
The Little Red Hen!
We have loved reading this story together in class this week and have had lots of lengthy discussions about sharing and helping each other! We have chatted about animals you might see on a farm and the different jobs that might happen there.
The story led us to lots of discussions and talk about bread...if we like it, what we like on it and where it comes from!
We realised that it doesn’t start in the local shops but that it is made and comes from a crop called wheat…which is farmed!!!
We had lots of fun watching the process of harvesting and collecting wheat and how this is ground to make flour in a mill.
We then had a go at using flour to make our very own bread, which was lots of fun, and messy too! We stirred, poured and kneaded to make the perfect dough ready for cooking in the oven and eating with some home-made butter! The children enjoyed this part!
We had an amazing time when Purple Pig Company came to visit us at school. All of our families loved it too!

We had so much fun and learned lots!
This week F2 have enjoyed learning all about the famous Russian artist…
‘Wassily Kandinsky’
…and have used his work to inspire some of their own fabulous pieces of art!
We have learnt lots about Wassily himself and have enjoyed exploring some of his most famous pieces, looking at the shapes he used and the colours!
We explored how different colours make us feel and how we can mix colours together to create new ones, talking about the primary colours and their importance!
Here are a few pictures of the children getting inspired and busy with their intrinsic circle designs, carefully mixing their own colours and creating beautiful abstract art!!!
Our paintings are so fabulous we have made our very own Kandinsky display!
We have loved reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and have been mesmerised by our caterpillars in the classroom and have really enjoyed watching them grow and change.
It seemed only right to create our very own beautiful butterflies.

Today we watched our first four butterflies fly away. It’s been quite magical watching them 🐛🦋
To introduce our new story ‘The Enormous Turnip’ we immersed our classroom and turned it in to our very own farm! The children had a fabulous day, click the link to see more…
