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.
