Newsletter Friday 26th June

We ended this week with a variety of activities that the children truly enjoyed!  

The children enjoyed playing maths and literacy games on the IWB, orange 'moon sand', and the magnetic tub.  

We concluded our week with our year end party.  It was such a delight to see the children come into school wearing their party clothes.  They all enjoyed dancing to party music, watching the film Toy Story, and most of all... Eating all the delicious food!  

We would like to thank you all for the support you have given us throughout the year.  It has been a great pleasure to be partners with you in your child's learning journey!  We all wish you a great summer holiday!

Dear Parents, We have had a wonderful time this week in anticipation of the TiniWorld trip! Children couldn't wait to hop in the bus and go to the play area. Once we were there, the children went crazy! They went climbing up the overhead tunnels, sliding and diving in the ball pit. You can see how much motor skills have developed through out the year and how independent they are now. We have made a slideshow of photos taken during the trip. You may download them if you wish to. Have a lovely weekend. Regards, Ms Grace and F2 Team

Newsletter, Friday 12th of June

It has been such a hectic and eventful week!  We continued our interest in superheroes and the children have still been enjoying our superhero-themed role-play area.  This week, the children focused on making different forms of movement and trying out different ways to 'keep fit'.  Some children have been practising their jumping skills through the trampoline, some have been improving their body flexibility on the exercise mats, and some have also been 'working out their muscles' with our 'barbells'.  Our children are continuing their developing understanding of the importance of exercise to have a healthy and strong body.  

This week, we also continued our swimming activities in the big swimming pool.  We are very delighted and pleased to share that all of our children show impressive water confidence in the big swimming pool.  All of them showed great anticipation for the activity and did their best to participate in our prepared exercises.  For this week, we continued practising big and small water movements and also added new activities.  We played games, sang some songs whilst moving together in the pool, practised kicking in the water, and also made some 'bubbles'.  

We have also started our canteen transition this week.  On Wednesday and Friday, the children practised lining up sensibly and going down to the canteen to have their lunch alongside some bigger children.  The children have been practising their independence in choosing the food they want to eat and also in politely asking the canteen staff for anything that they need.  It is such a delight to see the children smoothly adjust to this new addition to our routine.  We will be continuing our canteen transition until next week.  

The highlight of this week was the EYFS year end production, 'Let's Get Fruity'.  For weeks, the children have been practising their songs and actions in music class.  The children have been so excited to perform on stage and the whole production was made even more special by your support and presence.  Thank you parents for your support!

Dear Parents,

It's been a SUPER fantastic week here in the F2 classroom. Our new theme for this week is all about SUPERHEROES! We have a new Superhero Role Play area in our classroom. We integrated being strong (doing exercises and physical activities), being kind (helping other people, being respectful, being polite  and caring) and looking after oneself (eating healthy, drinking water and milk) in our role play area. The children also learned different vocabulary such as "cape", "masks" and "barbells". The children are also doing different physical activities such as rolling, jumping and crawling. Here are some photos of the children in the role play area:

Last Tuesday was the children's first big swimming pool session. The children were very excited to go to the big pool. All of them were really brave and did not get scared to go inside the big swimming pool. The children learned how to go in and out of the pool using a ladder, make big and small movements in the pool and they also played the game "Ms. Grace says" wherein the children did movements that would boost their confidence whilst they are inside the big swimming pool such as putting one ear in the water, putting their chin in the water etc. Here are some photos from our first big pool activity:

Well done F2 children for being brave in the big swimming pool!
