What have we been up to in
Foundation 2?
As the academic year draws to a close, it's been an incredibly busy and rewarding period! We are in the midst of our class transition events, giving children valuable time with both their parents and their new teachers.
Last week's Sports Day was a spectacular success, showcasing the children's impressive balancing, throwing, kicking, and hopping skills. The parent races were a particular highlight, with adults demonstrating their speed and agility to enthusiastic cheers from the children. This week, we're looking forward to our End-of-Year Celebrations and more excitement, culminating in a party day next Tuesday as we bid farewell to our current classes!

It's been a whirlwind of excitement in Foundation 2 these past few weeks! We've successfully hosted our Tea Parties for all our new September starters. It was absolutely wonderful to welcome our new children, let them explore their classrooms, and introduce them to their new teachers, all while enjoying a delightful picnic and story time!
Beyond that, we've had a fantastic time with our Culture Clubs, brilliantly supported and run by our wonderful parents and Miss Birch. Just last week, we delved into the vibrant culture of Poland, learning the language, creating beautiful art, and even sampling some delicious traditional food! Before that, our after-school Culture Club explored Jamaica and Namibia discovering their unique environments, incredible food, lively music, and popular sports. We were thrilled to have Levi's Kitchen join us, cooking up such a storm that everyone eagerly went back for seconds! The children truly impressed us with their knowledge and confidence in sharing their language and songs.
As we near the end of the school year, there's still so much to anticipate, including our exciting Sports Day and each class's special end-of-year celebration assemblies!

This week's highlight for Foundation 2 was our exciting visit to Tam O'Shanter Farm. The children thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on experience of feeding a variety of farm animals, including the gentle alpacas, oinking pigs, clucking chickens, and bleating goats. Following this, a period of free exploration and play in the farm's woodland area allowed the children to engage their imaginations and enjoy their snacks in a natural setting. We deeply value the opportunity to provide these enriching and educational excursions for our Foundation 2 students, and we are delighted to share some photographic memories of their day with you.

Wow, what a vibrant start to the summer term! Forest School is already underway for F2A and F2B, and St. George's Day brought a wonderful wave of creativity and fun this week. It was fantastic to see the children proudly parading from the lower site to the top, flags waving and instruments playing, before enjoying a well-deserved lolly ice.

Last week foundation 2 had their trip to Imagine that. This trip supports the children's early learning goal for Understanding the World. The children had so much fun exploring in the science area, digging in the outdoor area and watching science experiments in the investigation area!

What a week we had last week! We celebrated World Book day on Wednesday. This year we decided to share our favourite book using clues! It was a great way to practice our Oracy skills and the children thoroughly enjoyed the day! We also had a visit from Helen Stewart the storyteller on Thursday. She wowed the children with her storytelling. We have continued thinking about people who help us while moving into superheros. It has been such a lovely week and the children have really enjoyed it!

Welcome back to a new term! This half term we are moving onto the P in our RESPECT characteristics. P is for POSITIVITY Our learning hero for positivity is Marie Curie. Each week one child from each class recieves a RESPECT award for showing positivity. Last week we also started our design technology work and introduced the flange joint. Home work was set for children to junk model at home using a flange joint. We had some lovely examples of this which I have attached for you see. F2C and F2D have also started their block of forest school visits.
First week Spring term 2
This week in Foundation 2 we have been learning all about Chinese new year. The children have been able to paint lanterns, use chop sticks and find out all about the Chinese new year celebration during music and other lessons. We have also had the last session of Forest school for F2A and F2B where the children made their own bread. The children have had the opportunity to record their own weather report on our home learning platform seesaw. The children love watching themselves back in class with all their friends. This week is internet safety week. On Friday we welcomed a local police officer who spoke to the children all about keeping safe and what to do in an emergency.
