This week in FS2 we have been busy learning all about Bonfire night and Diwali. We have created some beautiful firework pictures using a variety of media and developed our fine motor skills by manipulating pipe cleaners to make fireworks. We made some beautiful lanterns for the parade and learnt how to stay safe around fireworks. We pretended to be firefighters in the role play area and built fire engines in the construction area. We even enjoyed making our very own firework biscuits and went on the wonderful community lantern parade. To round off a great week we also had an very exciting visit from some owls and got to see them fly and learnt lots of different facts. What an amazing week in FS2! 

Dear Parents/Carers  

The refined Early Years curriculum asks that children ‘know and talk about the different factors that support their overall health and wellbeing’, with a focus on oral hygiene. This is embedded within our teaching and provision but to support this further, the children will be starting ‘The Toothbrush Project’, where they will brush their teeth daily in school. Your child will also receive a new toothbrush and toothpaste to use at home. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to your child’s teacher.     

Thank you, 

The FS2 Team. 

Dear Parent / Carer, 

As part of our topic on ‘Autumn’, we have been looking at nocturnal and woodland animals.   

On Friday 5th November we have invited the Wise Owl Falconry to visit us with a range of birds including owls to support our understanding of their way of life. To help us fund this visit we are asking for a contribution of £3.00 to be payable via the arbor app which will include a photo of your child with a bird.  

The company and the school have put a detailed risk assessment to ensure all safety measures are in place and in line with government guidelines. 

 In the meantime, why not visit their website with your child at https://www.wise-owl.co.uk/  and discuss different birds of prey?  

Thank you in advance for your support. 

Yours sincerely,
