As is usual in F1 we have been very busy:

• We have been painting self portraits, talking about emotions and looking carefully at ourselves as well as what makes us good friends.
• We have planted sunflower seeds for our sunflower competition.
• Looking at numbers and how they can be added together using the part, part whole method.
• We created our own treasure maps and searched the outside area for treasure using compasses.
• We have worked together to create a puppet theatre and our very own puppets.

Our children have been getting up to loads this week, we have been:

• Making a bear trap in the construction area.
• Mixing and exploring with colours.
• Going wild with the dinosaurs.

​All of this fun was done under the direct supervision of our construction manager.

Fairyland has come to Athersley South! One morning this week a fairy house was discovered in the woodland, since then a whole community has moved in and have begun to play with and write letters to our very excited children. We have been writing letters back and send them beautiful pictures, as well as working hard to improve their environment and make them comfortable.

Our fantastic F1 children have been going on a gardening frenzy in the new raised beds. We had great fun and look forward to the fruits of our labours!
