We listened to some African culture and watched people playing the djembes. We explored different beats and rhythms on our knees then on the djembes. We had so much fun – check out our beats! #LovePlover

African drumming – Playing djembes
We had a lovely time this morning playing djembes. We watched some videos of African people playing djembes. We explored different rhythms and the sounds that they could make. The children then played as they sang nursery rhymes.

Playground Markings Expert Visitor
On Friday we had Dave from Uni Play visit F2 to talk about playground markings, how they’re made, showed lots of designs, spoke about what machines are used and answered lots of questions our children had. We then went on a journey around our school playgrounds to test out some old playground markings, shared ideas of what the children would like and then we created our own. #LovePlover

We’re On The Move
Our new expedition: We’re On The Move – wheels, wings and other things! In hook week we went on a local walk around our community. We walked and saw lots of other things moving: cars, buses, scooters, cyclists, birds, squirrels. We used our geographical knowledge and map skills to spot things in Intake. #LovePlover
Number Day in F2
We love numbers! Maths is fun! Today we celebrated number day with lots of learning and fun activities all linked to numbers and maths. We worked hard to make our own number track games, match numbers, make numbers, jigsaws, bee bots and dominos! As well as using our counting skills outside! #LovePlover
Planting Seeds
Nursery have planted some seeds so that we can learn to take care of living things. Each child could choose whether they wanted to plant broad beans, cress or sweet pea flowers. We spoke about what seeds need to grow and how to take care of them. We can’t wait to watch how they grow over the coming weeks.

We’re on the move
Our new expedition is called We’re on the move! This week we have been looking at different ways we can move, keeping our bodies active and healthy. We had a go at making playground markings, using an obstacle course and riding the bikes.

A lovely local walk..
Today, we followed our maps around our local area. We turned right, crossed the road, past the shops, along to the roundabout, turned left and left again, past the church, left at the end, past the post office, over the road, back past the shops and around the corner back to school. We spotted different buildings, we counted, we waddled like penguins…we had a really lovely morning! Thank you to all the grown-ups who came to help.
