F2's Class Blog: 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!
