International Day
It was wonderful to celebrate International Day this week with FSP. The children looked amazing in the clothes from their home countires and everyone loved taking part in and watching the parade. FSP enjoyed talking about their favourite act in the Cultural Show and listening to music from around the world in our classroom. It was great to see the children try new foods from the food stalls and explain why they liked or disliked it.
We have had lots to celebrate in FSP this week!
Loy Krathong
The children looked fantastic in their Traditional Thai clothes. They had lots of fun making Krathongs, playing Mon Son Pa and riding banana leaf horses around the garden. We carefully floated our Krathong's in the reflection pool and the pond by the Sala to end a very busy day at school. Please share any photos of Loy Krathong celebrations at home on Seesaw so we can continue discussions at school.
FSP had a lovely morning visiting our Little Paws Gym. The children did a floor session from our Moving Smart Perceptual Motor Program and they really enjoyed this. We always start with a floor session as this is where we teach the body first. The children do a series of exercises with their body and then next week, they will do these exercises with the equipment. Teaching the body first allows our children to build muscle memory in their brains which is important for performing tasks correctly.
The five different exercises consisted of the following;
1. A sensory challenge in which the children had to throw a feather in the air and catch it in a cup. This activity is really great for developing eye fitness and the children loved it!
Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful Half Term holiday. FSP have had a very busy week...
We welcomed caterpillars to FSP!
This week we had a very special delivery- some very small and very hungry caterpillars! The children have enjoyed observing them, feeding them fresh leaves and helping to keep their home clean. We already have a couple of Caterpillars who have started to make chrysalis. I wonder if they will all make a chrysalis over the weekend? I wonder what they will look like on Monday when you come back to school?
Thank you FSP for an amazing term, you have all grown so much since you started FS2 in August! It has been wonderful to see you make friends, learn our rules and routines and have so much fun learning. You are always very busy and have such great ideas for what you would like to do! Here are some photos which show how busy you have been..
