We have been exploring shapes this week thinking about 2D and 3D shapes. We have made dragon pictures using shapes. We talked about the names and properties of the shapes and why we used them. These are some of our pictures.
Tomorrow we will be creating dragons using 3D shapes. I am looking forward to seeing the creations.

At dinner time last week the children wondered what one of the choices for pudding was. Our cook came to talk to us today about what it was.
It was a delicious watermelon and we really enjoyed tasting it.
We followed up our tasting by drawing and painting pictures of the watermelon.
Well done F2 artists.

There was a lot of excitement as the egg cracked open to reveal what was inside. It was a……
Dragon!
We are thinking of a name for our dragon and are going to decide in Crew on Monday.

Our F2 Pride of Plover winners were both chosen for working hard, being kind and making the right choices.
The other children were able to explain why they had been chosen and were very proud of them too.
So……. well done to Ruben and Mason.

Jacob was chosen for the Plover postcard today for fantastic listening. Yesterday in Crew we talked about how to get better at model making and he remembered what we had said using this new information to help him make a castle. Well done to Jacob.

Myla made her castle and was very proud of what she produced.
This is what she said about her model.
“These are the turrets and these are the fire. I thought orange would be good as it would be good as it looks like fire. For the door I thought if I put tape onto it it might go up and down so that it closes. I think it needs more glue on to stop the turrets moving.”
Following crew this afternoon, Marnie realised that she could also get better at making models. This is what she said.
“I tried to use the glue on the side but it kept falling off. If I had put the roll on the flat piece it would have stuck better and if I used tape it would stop it moving. If I cut it then it would have been even better.”
Well done girls for reflecting on your learning.

Our new expedition has the leading question, “Are dragons real?”
We have a dragon costume, knights and princess dressing up clothes, to immerse our children in role play, becoming a character from a story. We have small world toys for the children to pretend, to be a dragon or a knight in a castle.
We have been building castles today in lots of areas of provision including cutting and sticking, sand and water.
We have learnt lots of new words about castles. We learnt about turrets and draw bridges.
We were very proud of our models.

What would a dragon look like? What would a dragon feel like? What colours and textures would we need to use? These were all questions that the children thought about today. They used different materials to create a dragon talking about the different textures and which ones they thought would be best for the dragon scales.
I think that there will be some exciting news tomorrow. The egg has started cracking. I wonder what is inside.
