Our book of the week was Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. We have used this to platform discussions about space and the moon. The Class also loved turning boxes into their own rockets as baby bear does in the book. 

Our mathematic focus this week has been writing, tracing and copying the numerals for numbers 1 - 9. 

We are continuing to get school ready by using the phonics knowledge we learnt this year to match objects with their initial letter sound. For example, 'b' for baby. 

For Friday afternoon snack, the class helped to make butter for their crackers. This involves placing double cream into a sealed jar and shaking it until it changes. This takes only a few minutes when using room temperature double cream. The children loved this activity and reviewed their butter at 100 stars. 

We are still adding to our calm breathing book. This week we focused on rainbow breathing, lifting and lowering our arms as we breathed in and out for every colour of the rainbow. 

To see the games children took part in for PE and other fun activities we have been up to, to help us learn, please explore the pictures below.  

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through our class blog. And thank you for your patience as we get to grips with the new blog system. For any missing pictures, we will continue to work to address this.

Thank you – The Reg 2 Team. 

Our book of the week this week has been Captain Duck by Jex Alborough. Relating to this we have been exploring if different items will sink or float and why this might be. This has linked to our maths topic of size and wieght. 

For PE this week we have been copying and remembering patterns and sequences of actions. This is key to developing maths and dancing skills. 

We are still loving our music sessions with Imelda from CHIME. All our songs this week were linked to boats and water. All the children's confidence has grown so much from these sessions. 

We have had many activities that have linked to areas of development and boats. To explore, this and pictures from out time playing and learning outside, see them below. 

Thank you for taking the time to read through our class blog.

At the beginning of this week, we read our book of the week, 'All of the Factors of Why I Love Tractors' by Davina Bell.

For maths this week, we have been thinking about weight and balance. We have also been able to make our own scales during provision.

On Wednesday, Reg 2 enjoyed dancing, balancing and coordinating our limbs in PE.

On Thursday we visited the animals brought to The Alps by Little Barn Farm. This was a highlight for all the children they will remember for a long time. The children got to meet, stroke and hold some of the animals, and learn about them from the farmers.

On Friday 8th May, we learnt about the environmentalist David Attenborough to celebrate his 100th birthday. We made fossils, saved turtles, matched animals to their patterns, dressed as animals, and practised writing our names in birthday cards that we created.

We have had an amazing animal-themed week. Please explore the pictures below to see more from this week. 

Thank you so much for reading the Reg 2 blog and looking through our collection of photos.

We look forward to seeing you all for the rest of this half-term.

Our book of the week has been The Train Ride by June Crebbin. Inspired by the story, we have created many train pictures while developing our creativity and fine motor skills.
