This week's highlights:


Time flies so fast when you are having fun! We've reach the end of the first half of the term and we are so proud with how the children settled in F2! It's been amazing seeing these children settle in well, enjoy and try the activities in the classroom, explore the resources that we have and most important of all, begin to make friends with other children. We would like to thank all the parents for helping us during the settling in time and for being supportive and encouraging to your children.

The outdoor area in the F2 classroom is quite popular this week with children building fire hoses with the rabbit construction and pretending to be fire fighters. They also had a great time exploring and using the obstacle course that we set up in our mulch area where they did lots of physical activities such as crawling and balancing to name a few. Playing with transports such as cars, trains, boats and trucks is still a popular choice for most of the children. They enjoyed playing with the boats in the Water Area and with the garage in our Small World Area. The Investigation Area is a bit slimy this week as the children explored and played with basil seeds and water. They particularly liked mixing, scooping, watching the seeds change as you put water on it, feeling the slime and filling up and emptying the containers. Dressing up is still popular this week with the boys dressing up as princes and the girls as princesses. Some of them prefer to dress up as a dragon or a chef in our role play area. 

The children also enjoyed playing with the parachute in the Soft Playroom. We sang the "My Lovely Parachute" song and "Wheels on the Bus". They also enjoyed shaking the parachute really fast and slow. In the Fundino Playground, the children played with the musical instruments especially the cymbals, riding tricycles and playing hide and seek. We are very happy that the children are enjoying the Splash Pool and they are getting more confident playing in the water. 

This week in our Music lessons, the children had a very fun time playing with the egg shakers and singing the song "I have a chicken!". Mr Jon also taught us a new song this week called "Teddies on a Trampoline" and "Three Tapping Teddies". 


We wish you an amazing half term holiday!
