Growing - FS2 get green fingers to start our topic!

This half term we will be so much fun thinking about our topic 'growing' and doing lots of planting and looking after our seeds and flowers! Last week we planted sunflower seeds to start the topic and we each planted our own to keep. I wonder whose will grow the tallest!! At the end of the half term everyone can take theirs home to plant outside and watch them grow further...here we are in action!

Our letters to Callum!!!

Last week in literacy we wrote our letters to Callum the Camel to welcome him into FS2. I am very proud of how independent the children are becoming at sounding out words and forming 'super' sentences leading from our 'Big Talk' sessions. Here are just a few!

Our newest member of FS2!!!

On Tuesday when we came back after the Easter break, we had a new member of FS2 come and join our class.... Callum the Camel!

Can you remember what country he has come from and where it was on the map?

Why did he have to come on the aeroplane?

Look our for photos of your fantastic letters you have been writing to him in literacy, I'll be photographing them for the blog!

Can you remember what the famous river is called that runs through Egypt?

He's looking forward to spending lots of time in FS2 and going home with you on an evening too!!
