What a fabulous day F2 had celebrating ‘Hull Fair Day‘! A yearly event in our city’s calendar and one deserving of celebration! Hull has celebrated the arrival of the fair for over 7 centuries!! And to this day our children still love the fun of the fair! We cannot not mark the special occasion! So we traded our usual activities in for some roasting chestnuts, fairground rides, huck a duck games and coconut shy! We got busy painting our favourite fairground rides, pretended to ride the biggest rollercoasters, spent pennies on the funhouse and even tried some infamous BRANDY SNAP!!! The children loved discussing the fair and talked about the things they could see, smell, hear, touch and taste whilst they were there! The experience opened up lots of opportunities for discussions and chats about our senses, what we love and how we also try and stay safe at busy places like the fair!

The children had so much fun and we cannot wait to carry on this topic for the rest of the week!

 This afternoon F2 went on an exciting adventure around school looking for signs and bursts of AUTUMN! We looked for autumnal colours and the changes starting to take place all around us! We had lots of discussions and conversations about the trees and the plants we could see, and how we could tell that the weather was starting to change! We spotted berries (which we chatted about we can’t always eat!) and signs of insects starting to hide and hibernate for the winter!

We can’t wait to use the different leaves we collected to create our very own leaf men!!!

Following our surprise package last week the children were very excited to continue this learning and hunt for signs of the missing giant!!!

We used our binoculars and cameras to try get a quick snap of the giant! And we created some amazing giant posters to display around the classroom! The children loved creating their very own life sized giant, adding descriptions to it and thought of so many adjectives to describe him/her!

We also talked about different types of teeth and how we can take care of them, remembering to brush at least twice a day!

We have been looking after the giants teeth with great care…just incase they come back for them!

Have a lovely weekend!

A few snaps from our fabulous week last week!

The last few weeks we have all been spending lots of time getting to know each other and learning the routines and golden rules of our classroom! We have explored all the different areas, inside and outside!

We have painted, explored, created, investigated and adventured! We have made self-portraits, investigated shadows, explored water capacity, created transient art selfies and most importantly of all…made new friends!
