What a fantastic end to the first half term of KG2. The children have continued to work hard and try their best despite being tired. During our literacy sessions we have been reading ‘Bears in the night’ and we have enjoyed concentrating on prepositions and light and dark. We went on a ‘preposition’ walk, concentrating on what...

Every Friday, two children from KG2 are chosen to sit on a special table to eat their lunch. They are chosen because they have good table manners, try their food and set an exceptional example to their peers. The children enjoy being chosen and are very proud of themselves. The theme of our last Forest...

KG2 have had a wonderful week this week. They have been reading ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’ and have enjoyed re-writing the story to include going on a snake, shark, hyena, lion or tiger hunt. The children had fun listening to everyone’s ideas. In maths the topic has been patterns and the children have...

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...

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....
