Lots of us took part in the egg decorating competition in school, take a look at our egg-citing entries. We also had an end of term treat and made some chocolate nest buns to take home and enjoy, yummy! One of us brought in our bird guides from home to share with our friends. This got us taking about the different birds we had seen. Someone asked what the biggest bird in our country was? So we set off finding out. We discovered it was the white-tailed eagle, with a wingspan of up to 2.4m! Some of us asked how big this was so we decided to measure it out. Our small rulers weren't big enough so we had to borrow some meter rulers from school. Once we had measured it we couldn't believe how long it was! 2 of us could fit in it's wingspan and it was even bigger than Mrs Ayling who we decided was the tallest adult in our class!
Spring Term 2 was a super term in FS2! Lots of us were showing interest in superheroes so we chose some of the Supertato books as our key texts. We were very busy rescuing vegetables, completing reading challenges, making and setting traps to catch the evil pea and designing and making our own Superveg! We then moved on to Superworm, this naturally led to lots of investigating worms, talking about measures and using standard and non-standard measures. We have all had an amazing day today sharing our love of reading. The children and grown-ups looked amazing in their costumes and we all loved talking about our character and stories. This morning some of our children took part in our great book swap and now have an exciting new story to share at home with their loved ones. This afternoon the children listened to lots of fantastic stories while having a lovely hot chocolate and biscuit. In FS2 we have been learning all about Chinese New Year or in some cultures Lunar New Year. We watched videos and read about how it is celebrated and compared this to the different ways in which we all celebrate days that are special to us. Mrs Grange set up a wishing tree for us and we used our phonics knowledge to write our wishes for the year. We were really interested in the dragon and lion dances we saw on the videos we watched so decided to make our own. We had to work as a team to decorate it and then perform in our parade outside. We have been learning about how to join different materials together. Some of us designed our own outfits and then used our knowledge of joins to make them, we even had a go at sewing. We think some of us might become fashion designers in the future, what do you think of our outfits? We have been doing some work on repeating patterns in our maths group times and in provision, check out some of the patterns we made. We were given a very generous donation of a selection box for every child in EYFS and would just like to say a huge THANK YOU!
We had a super day for our winter party. We got to dance and play lots of games as well as have a special party lunch. After lunch we had a very special visitor come to school....Santa! He asked us all what we would like for Christmas and gave us all a book as a present. What a special day! We have been working very hard learning our Christmas songs and on Monday it was our time to shine. We all did amazing when performing them to our grown ups! Even though it was a little nerve wracking seeing all those faces watching us we all remembered the actions and sang our hearts out. Everyone thought we were fantastic and own grown ups and teachers are very proud of us! |
