KG2 have had another fantastic week and have worked incredibly hard. Our book of the week was ‘Leaf man.’ During literacy they have been learning about the seasons, having a walk around the copse and playground looking for seasonal changes and taking part in lots of discussions. The children have drawn some super pictures to...

KG2 have made a fantastic start to the school year. They have all settled in the new routine really well and it seems like months rather than almost two weeks since we came back from the summer break. This week the children have been reading the books ‘Stick Man’ and ‘Stanley’s Stick’ during their literacy...

The children have been amazing this week, despite the incredible heat. They have been concentrating on addition in maths and the lifecycle of a frog in literacy. Our jungle themed cloakroom is almost complete, and the children have enjoyed painting their favourite animals ready to hide in this wonderful space. I am sure you will...

KG2 have had a very busy first week back after the half term break. The children have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly, telling the time, completing artwork for our jungle themed cloakroom display as well as preparing for our Father’s Day assembly. The week began with a reminder about the...

During their final Forest School session of the half term, KG2 used their imagination to pretend that they were camping in the glorious outdoors. They could climb into a sleeping bag or hammock and listen to the sounds around them and then cook breakfast on a pretend campfire. They enjoyed looking for animal footprints, making...

On Tuesday KG2 had their first trip out of school. As part of our topic, animals changing and growing, we visited Knowsley Safari Park. We left Branwood once we were all ready and got onto our coach. Once we had our seatbelts on, and Mrs Boulton had counted us a hundred times, we were off....

KG2 have thoroughly enjoyed having the chicks in the classroom this week. I think that everyone in the Branwood family has enjoyed having the chicks in the classroom – KG2 have never been so popular! On Thursday the children sat quietly on the carpet waiting for their turn to gently hold and stroke a chick....

What a fantastic week we have had in KG2! We welcomed a new friend into our class and showed him just how wonderful Branwood is. We also started our topic on animals, growing and changing. On Wednesday we enjoyed forest school. With the theme being all about bees. We pretended to be bees and flew...

This term we have been learning all about ourselves. The cloakroom display has been the topic of discussion regularly in the classroom as Mrs Dickinson has been displaying the children’s (and our) baby photo’s, images showing them growing up and with their family. It has been lovely to watch the children glow with pride when...

KG2’s book of the week was ‘Goldilocks and the three bears.’ They have sung the song ‘When Goldilocks went to the house of the Bears,’ acted out the story and written about it. The children have shown us just how much they are trying to write sentences independently, think about what they are writing and...
