This week in FS2, we had an absolutely fantastic time celebrating and learning about Chinese New Year! Here’s a little glimpse into our fun activities:

🍪 We made our very own fortune cookies for our friends using paper - how cool is that? And of course, we couldn’t resist enjoying some real fortune cookies while reading our own fortunes!

📮 We wrote red envelopes for our friends, a lovely gesture to spread some good luck and cheer!

📚 We even picked up how to say “hello” and “thank you” in Chinese!

🐉 We dove into the story of the great race and discovered all the fascinating animals of the Chinese zodiac!

🥢 In the funky fingers area, we had a blast using chopsticks – it was a delightful challenge!

🎊 We learned about how different people celebrate Chinese New Year, embracing the richness of traditions around the world.

🌳 And of course, we made our wishes for the Chinese wishing tree. Fingers crossed for good fortune all around!

Additionally, we were thrilled to watch the eggs hatch into adorable chicks! It’s been a week filled with wonder and joy! 🐣✨

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! 🎉 To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any pushchairs, toy prams and scooters, that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities last week! 📸

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome! 💖

Dear families

Have a restful week off 😀

This week in FS2 has been filled with creativity and fun! We acted out the imaginative story of Zog and even created our very own story maps to bring it to life.

In maths, we dove into learning about length, and everyone is making great progress!

With a lovely break in the weather, we took advantage of the sunshine and enjoyed some outdoor learning. Our adventures included riding bikes, playing with nature soup, and using natural resources to create some beautiful transient art.

And let’s not forget our drawing club where we let our imaginations soar by drawing dragons!
