Newsletter WE 7th November

Dear Parents,

There has been a lot going on in F2 this week!  Please see below:

-This was our last week focusing on the story 'Whatever Next!' By Jill Murphy.  Our group activities included acting out the story, drawing our favourite pictures from the story and and putting the main events in order.  We finished our week with a picnic on the 'Moon'.  We ate and drank the same things as Baby Bear and Owl: honey sandwiches, apples, biscuits and orange juice.  We listened to Space music as we enjoyed our picnic.  We finished the morning by watching the 'Whatever Next' animation.  If you do a Google search for the story, you can watch it at home. Next week, we will be reading 'Meg on the Moon' by Helen Nicoll and Jan Pienkowski.

-The children continued exploring our Space role play by dressing up as a rocket and also as astronauts.  We will continue with this role play area next week.  The children have been busy making paper mache planets with Ms Claudine to make our Space role play area even more fantastic!

-There are 2 Space apps we have been using on the iPads this week: 'Space Journey' and 'Space Journey'.  Both are free if you would like to try them at home.

-The children have been extending their physical skills by playing on an obstacle course in the foyer.  They practised crawling, jumping, hopping and rolling.

-We have been reading a story called 'Mr Tongue' with the class. This is a simple story that focuses on the children's articulation skills and helps the children to make sounds accurately.

-Eason and Seven will be taking home the 'All About Me' bags this weekend.  Please remember that we love to see what the children have been up to on the weekends.  Please do upload their photos onto blogs over the weekend.
