What have we been up to in
Foundation 1?
Please check this page for updates of activities which we have taken part in this week at school.
Before learning all about firefighters and Bonfire Night, we had some very special visitors come to see us! The children were very excited to explore the fire engine and even had the opportunity to sit inside. The firefighters showed us some of their special equipment and talked to us about how to stay safe around fireworks. We had a fantastic visit and learned lots of interesting things!
A big thank you to Birkenhead Fire Crew for taking the time to come and visit us!

This half term in DT, we have been exploring different types of hats. We decided that we wanted to create our very own spooky hats! As a class, we designed a hat together before the children set about creating their own individual designs. They carefully chose which items they wanted to add to their hats and thought about the best way to attach them, deciding whether to use Sellotape, glue or a stapler. We had lots of fun getting creative and putting our designs into practice!

We absolutely loved our first Forest School session! There was lots to explore and plenty of opportunities to develop our skills. We used hammers to carefully knock golf tees into pumpkins, practised our balance as we made our way along the slackline, created our very own magical wands and enjoyed lots of digging and exploring. It was wonderful to see the children embracing the outdoors, trying new things and having so much fun!

We have been practicing putting on our outdoor waterproof clothing before heading outside, and everyone is trying really hard to become more independent. We are getting much better at getting ourselves ready for outdoor adventures! Once outside, we have been having lots of fun making our own obstacle courses, throwing beanbags into hoops, working together to push our friends around and enjoying lots of water play. There is always something exciting to explore outdoors!

We have been enjoying exploring our new classroom, discovering all the different areas where we can play, learn and have fun. The children are becoming more familiar with their new surroundings, trying out different activities and, most importantly, making new friends along the way. It has been lovely to see them settling in, growing in confidence and enjoying their time together!
