Expressive Art and Design

We have been busy transforming our creative area into an inviting, enclosed woodland to link our wildlife themed classrooms. The children have been painting foxes, otters, hedgehogs and squirrels. They are full of ideas of what our woodland needs. All of the FS children, teachers and practitioners have been working hard to enhance this learning environment. We will upload photos soon so that you can see it develop. For now here is a video of the children in FS2 as they created their own Andy Goldsworthy inspired art with natural materials. I think you will agree that the children produced some beautiful art!

Number hunt

The children in FS2 became number hunters today.....we discovered that numbers really are everywhere!

We explored the whole school and had fun hunting for numbers, we also learnt where all of our older brothers and sisters did their learning. The staff photo board provided many laughs, who knew our photographs could be so funny!?

Can you find any numbers in your house? Let us know by writing in the diary, sending in photographs or commenting on our blog.

Camo Day

Today we wrote a letter thanking some of the helicopter pilots who came to visit us on 'Camo day'. We had great fun looking at some of the photos and talking about what we had seen. We found it very funny that the pilots were called Sgt Lewis and Sgt Sullivan just like our teachers. Some of us drew a picture of the helicopter to send them. We have sent them a link to the blog- will Sgt Lewis and Sgt Sullivan reply to us???

Don't forget this week we have asked you to go on a number hunt- we would really like to see what you have found. (Thank you William G for your fantastic photos).

Using our camo 'mini me' in small world play. We are still enjoying our camo day memories.

Welcome to Foxes and Otters

This morning we met the new FS2 children. We had lots of fun exploring the classroom and getting to know each other. We read stories about otters and foxes and talked about our favourite thing to do at school.

Please don't hesitate to speak to us next week if you have any questions about September. It was lovely to see so many happy, smiley children! We are really looking forward to getting to know the children better.

Goodbye Mrs Cordy

On Friday Otter class said a very sad goodbye to their LSA Mrs Cordy. Mrs Cordy is going back to the UK and is very excited about Marks and Spencer food! We will miss her very much, she has been a fabulous LSA and has helped the children with all of their learning. Yesterday we thought back over our memories of Mrs Cordy....Miss Sullivan's memory involved wasps and hair!

Mason - ''I will miss Mrs Cordy because she is very funny and she is very helpful.''

Logan - ''I remember all of the funny things that she said like tiddlywoo.''

Jessica B- ''I liked it when she gave us some sweets and i liked it when she read us stories. I liked it when she told us what to do.''

Antonia- ''I liked it when Mrs Cordy changed my books and when she did afternoon phonics with me. I liked it when she played games with us at snacktime.''

Grace E - ''I miss Mrs Cordy because she read funny stories and she laughed funny!''

Lydia - ''I miss Mrs Cordy because she thinks we are so nice to her.''

Robert - ''I remember that Mrs Cordy is thirtythree. She tells us funny stories, her laugh makes me laugh.''

Joshua - ''I really miss you Mrs Cordy because I miss all of the fun phonics and it is fun to play with you but I can't play with you anymore.''

Garden party

The sun came out! We hope you all enjoyed yourselves this afternoon, it was lovely to see so many parents. The children really enjoyed sharing their work with you and playing lots of games. It was really nice to see parents and children finding their old t-shirts in the rugs we made. We had lots of fun making a caterpillar out of salad- and of course eating it!
Did you make it onto our hall of fame?
