The Flying High Academy Ladybrook EYFS

🏃‍♂️🥇 Last week, our F2 children had a fantastic time taking part in Sports Day!
The children showed great enthusiasm, and determination as they took part in a variety of races and activities. Everyone tried their best, cheered each other on and, most importantly, had lots of fun!
Every child received a medal to celebrate their participation and amazing effort. 🥇
A huge thank you to all of the parents, carers and family members who came along to support and cheer the children on! 🙂

🌍♻️ Last week, our F2 children continued exploring their enquiry question: "Am I too small to make a difference?"
The children learnt about litter and the impact it can have on our oceans and marine life. They discovered that even small actions can make a big difference in protecting our environment.
Using recycled materials, they created artwork and designed posters to encourage others to keep our beaches clean, put litter in the bin and recycle. ♻️ They also enjoyed a range of activities linked to this theme. 💙🌎

Last week, our F2 children completed their learning about Italy, and what better way to celebrate than with a fashion show inspired by the famous catwalks of Milan!
The children were challenged to design their own T-shirts, and we were delighted to welcome adults into school to help transfer their creative designs onto fabric. Once their masterpieces were complete, the children took to the runway to proudly showcase their creations in a fantastic fashion show.
The fun didn't stop there! The children also enjoyed a range of Italy-themed activities, including building the Leaning Tower of Pisa and constructing a bridge over a Venetian canal. It was a wonderful way to bring their learning to life and celebrate all they had discovered about Italy. 🇮🇹✨

What a fantastic week of learning in F2! Using the non-fiction text ‘Theodore’s Italian Adventure’, the children explored Italy’s culture, food, landmarks and everyday life. They practised sequencing instructions before making and tasting their own pizzas 🍕 Their maths and finger gym activities were also inspired by Italy, making learning fun and engaging across the curriculum! 🇮🇹 🍕

Last week, our F2s had a busy but enjoyable first week back after their half-term holidays. They used the text ‘From my Window’ to help them explore Brazil and look at some of the similarities and differences between Brazil and Ladybrook. They followed (and wrote) instructions for how to make Mingau, tasted Mate, and made a Peteca to play with. They also enjoyed activities in their play that related to the text 🇧🇷 🪟 🥣

Yesterday our F2 children took part in a colour run to raise money for the charity, LCH (Lifting Children's Hopes), which supports local children and families. All of the children had a fantastic time 🌈 🏃‍♀️

Last week in F2, children continued to use the text ‘There’s a Rang-Tan in my bedroom’ as they explored deforestation in the rainforests of Borneo for palm oil production. They learned what palm oil is and which household items it is found in. They wrote campaign letters to companies that use palm oil, asking them to save the rainforests. They created orangutan’s and used fixatives on their arms and legs so they could move 🦧 They also enjoyed completing a race to 10 maths game and a finger gym activity that linked with the weeks theme 🐵

Last week, our F2 children used the text ‘There’s a Rang-Tan in My Bedroom’ to begin exploring deforestation in rainforests caused by palm oil production. They took part in activities within their provision that linked to this, and enjoyed their outdoor time too 🦧
