This week, FS2 have immersing themselves into our Talk For Writing story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We have been building bridges over the stream in our outdoor construction area, acting out the story map in our English lessons and been searching for the mean troll. In Geography, Hedgehogs and Squirrels have been learning about the world and finding lots of different countries on the globe. Lots of children were excited to find the different countries that their families are from. It has also been lovely to see the children create stories and performances on our stage outside using the masks they made in the Atelier.

This week, FS2 have been learning about lots of different celebrations that will be taking place over the February half term. We have immersed ourselves in Chinese new year in our role play area, creating dragon masks, dressing up in traditional clothes and learning all about the year of the horse. In R.E, lots of children shared their personal experiences visiting a mosque and spoke about why it is a special place for themselves and their families. We also began to look at the celebration of Ramadan. Finally, we have begun to practise our baking for Shrove Tuesday by exploring skills such as pouring and mixing in the sand area .

In FS2 this week, we have been learning lots about our local history. The children have been amazed that there once stood a castle right where our school is now…a long long long time ago! They have enjoyed building their own castles with draw bridges, turrets and battlements. Hedgehogs and Squirrels have also been working very hard writing up their innovated Baby Mouse stories. This includes stories about roaring lions, mummy elephants and spotty ladybirds. In our Atelier, we have been focusing on the brush work of Van Gogh and observational drawing of flowers.
