Seasons Greetings from F2!

The children did very well rehearsing in the Hall each morning this week, to bring to you “Get out, it’s Winter!”  We are very proud of all the children and the effort they put into learning their songs and actions.  I’m sure you’ll agree the show was wonderful. 














F2 is well and truly embracing the spirit of the season. This week has seen the children developing fine motor skills and problem solving as they wrap presents for under our tree and trim Santa’s beard, as we continue our count down until the Christmas holidays.  As busy as Santa’s elves, the children have made decorations for the Hall and other little Christmas trinkets to sell at the Christmas Market on the 14th




To balance out all the Christmas excitement the children enjoyed burning energy in the soft play room, practising their agility as they played the beanbag game and testing their listening skills with ‘Ms Claudine Says’.  They also practised different ways to move their bodies; slithering on their tummies like a snake, rolling like a sausage, jumping with two feet like a kangaroo, and crawling on their hands and knees.  With all of our rehearsing in the Hall, the children also practised a lot of walking up and down stairs, holding the hand rail with one hand and working towards using alternating feet on each step.
