What have we been up to in
Foundation 2?
Please check this page for updates of activities which we have taken part in this week at school.
My Happy Mind
We have been completing our first module of My Happy Mind. We have been learning all about our brain and how it helps us. We learnt that all brains are the same, they are pink and your brain is the size of your two fists together. We then made brain hats.
F2 25/26 My Happy Mind
Balancing in PE
In PE, Reception children practiced balancing on a rope, pretending to be brave tightrope walkers. They showed patience by waiting their turn and going to the back of the line after each try. The children showed resilience as they kept trying even when they wobbled or fell off.
F2 25/26 - PE 1
Exploring AB Patterns
In maths we have been exploring patterns. We used counters, bears and cotton reels to create AB patterns. The children then spotted patterns in the continuous provision.

Visit to Claremount Methodist Church
In our RE lessons we have been learning about Harvest and why it is celebrated. We walked to our local Methodist Church and the Revered taught us all about Harvest and giving thanks to God. We walked around the church giving thanks to God in a parade.

Forest School
We had a fantastic first week at forest school. We painted with mud, went digging for fossils, zoomed on the zip wire, jumped from the tree, balanced on the rope bridge and explored the whole forest - even having snack around the fire circle. The children smiled as they explored the forest. We are looking forward to going again next week.

Let's Make Faces
This week we have been learning about the artist Pablo Picasso. We have studied his portraits and use of colour. We have also read the book "Let's Make Faces" which explores using objects found around the house to make a face. The children have all made their own Picasso face and also their own loose parts face.
