Brilliant Balance Bikers!

14th October 2024Rebecca Bubb

In F2BP today, we had a great morning learning balancing skills. The children listened to the instructions really well, kept safe and had fun. We had one fall but she got back on and was a trooper! We have so much fun in F2! IT IS GREAT COMING TO SCHOOL 🙂

F2BP postcards

10th October 2024Mrs Price

Riley and Alex showed that they were kind to each other today when they were sharing with the train and train track. The train track was broken and the pieces didn’t connect together. They worked together to solve the problem.

Leo has worked hard and has shown excellent behaviour.

Cohen worked hard in his writing and wrote words on is own for the first time.

Well done everyone.

F2 Pride of Plovers

Well done to Jacoby in F2BP for starting to blend in phonics, you little superstar. Well done to Laura in F2M, for being the sweetest little girl and for knowing all her phonics sounds that we have learnt so far. #LovePlover

Will it roll? Will it slide?

4th October 2024Mrs Price

We have been exploring shapes today. We decided which shapes were best for building and we talked about why.

We sorted shapes into those that could roll or slide or both.

We then tried to build with the shapes in provision.

Have a look at our towers. We definitely couldn’t build with the sphere and noticed that we could only use a cone if it went on top.
