FS2 Weekly Round-Up!

What a fantastic week we’ve had in FS2! The children have loved exploring Bonfire Night through lots of exciting activities. We made our own rockets and even created edible sparklers – they were a big hit! ๐Ÿซโœจ

In maths, we’ve been busy painting and exploring circles and triangles, learning all about their features and how to spot them in the world around us. ๐Ÿ”ต ๐Ÿ”บ

As part of our topic, ‘People Who Help Us’, we were lucky enough to have a special visit from a vet this week. The children learned all about how vets care for animals and help to keep them healthy. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฐ

It’s been a busy, fun-filled week of learning and discovery — well done, FS2! ๐ŸŒŸ

Our nursery children have been busy building their fine motor skills through a variety of exciting autumn themed activities this week! From threading and tweezing to cutting and tracing, they’ve been strengthening those little hand muscles ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŽจ

These hands-on experiences help prepare children for early writing, self-care skills, and so much more — all while boosting confidence and independence. ๐ŸŒŸ

Y1 had a fantastic time starting our new book, "Rapunzel" by Bethan Woovlin! We loved diving into the story and spotting the differences from the traditional tale we all know and love.

Task Master - Best Socks

 


๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸซตTaskmaster Challenge ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿซต

Before the half term holiday, year 6 began their TASKMASTER tasks.

First, the 'TASKMASTERS' had the tricky job of judging the fantastic 'unusual hat' that were bought in!! Well done for all your efforts and to the paretns/carers that supported!!

Next, the warm up task saw us trying to clanace on one leg unaided for up to 6minutes! Many of the children managed it and were awarded the maximum of 5 points.

The main task had teams trying to recreate a picture with only one person looking at it, one running between the 'seer' and the 'drawers'. The outcomes were impressive and showed off the pupils' great communication skills. Much fun was had!!

We can't wait for Friday 7th November when we have more tasks to tackle!!

FS1 had so much fun exploring our Autumn-themed water tray! Using sponges, scoops, and lots of imagination, they discovered pumpkins, pinecones, and other autumn treasures hidden in the bubbly water. ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ
