As part of Science Week, F1 created a swirling whirling snowstorm. We watched a clip of how the wind blows the snow around then thought about how we could move our ‘snow’. Ella knew that wind blows the trees and snow. Pixie knew that our boards could make ‘wind’. The results were fantastic!
This morning as part of our ‘board game day’ we played Obstacle Course Tiles and had lots of fun outside in the sunshine moving our bodies!
We worked together and helped each other, demonstrating different movements and exercises!
Thank you to everyone who attended our ‘Bring a Board’ Stay and Play afternoon!
The children had a wonderful afternoon playing a variety of old and new board games!
This term we decided to host our stay and play out of the classroom and try something a little different…never underestimate the power of a good old board game! These help children develop and build a variety of skills- patience, sharing, turn taking, logic and reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking!
Here are a few snaps of the afternoon…
Spring has definitely arrived in F2 today!
With the sunshine arriving we all headed outside to crack on with some Spring cleaning! Lots of washing, cleaning, digging and pruning of the flowers!
We have been very busy bees tidying our wonderful outdoor area and looking for signs that Spring has arrived and the season has changed!
We have enjoyed learning all about Spring…a time of growth and colour… and enjoying some ‘Spring time’ Easter treats… hot cross buns, after learning the song Hot Cross Buns!!!
What a wonderful week F2 have had continuing with the story of Jack and the Beanstalk!
This week the beanstalk in our classroom seemed to grow even larger, reaching our classroom ceiling!!!
We found some HUGE shoes which can only belong to the GIANT as we tried them and they were much too big for us!
We have loved pretending to be the giant and answer lots of questions which we discussed together. The children played the part very well and loved our hot-seating activity! This inspired our writing and we thought of lots of good adjectives to use to describe the giant!
With lots of adventures climbing beanstalks and painting endless and endless giant leaves and beans we have had a fantastic week!
We couldn’t have had a ‘water day’ in F1 without splashing in puddles! Or in our case, splashing in water trays. Some of our children, who have been unsure about donning waterproofs and wellies in the past, were brave enough to give it a try. And what fun they had…
Other were slightly more subdued…
We’ve started reading We’re Going on a Bear Hunt in F1.
Today we have been using grass for lots of different activities.

A lovely afternoon today, spent with lots of our parents and grandparents. So many happy faces.
