Week 9 – A message from your teachers
Over the last 8 weeks we have enjoyed seeing your pictures and sharing them on the class news. This week, we would like to share some pictures of us with you.
During the week we keep ourselves busy by planning, recording lessons and answering your lovely emails but at the weekend we like to take a break and spend time with our family, doing the things we love.
Mrs Palmer has been painting and decorating and enjoying walks in the sunshine.
Mrs Myers has been busy in her garden. She is growing lots of fruit and vegetables.
Mrs Flynn has been sewing in the garden.
Mrs Kirby has been busy making decorations for a cake.
Miss Hulme has been busy doing some mindfulness colouring.
Have a lovely half term and please email (scholesf2@spherefederation.org) a picture of your child doing something they enjoy. We are making something special to share with you all 🙂
A fantastic storyteller…
Lorien has re-told the story ‘The Gruffalo’ using props. We really enjoyed listening to it and thought you would too!

It has been another busy week for everyone in F2. We have particularly enjoyed reading your stories.
“A rainbow wolf came. He got stuck in the tree but people helped him down because he was friendly.”
“One day they was a ultimate dragon who lived on the moon and it was a dragon beast. It was getting all the kids toys and eated (ate) their toys. It’s the end.” By Teddy.

Comparing sizes:
“The snake is 238cm. I am 110cm.”
“The snake is long and thin but the rainbow dog is fat and big.”
William has come up with his own number problem for you to solve:

| Super Science! Exploring water…
Pouring, measuring, floating and sinking Choose from the following activities: · Find a bowl and selection of containers suitable for using in water pouring activities. These might include pans, jugs, empty milk containers, plastic mugs, etc. Ensure the water is at a safe temperature. Empty and fill containers with the water. Which container holds the most? How many cups of water go into the pan? How many does it take to fill an egg cup? By using a washing up bowl, or a large mixing bowl you will be able to keep the quantity of water down to a minimum to avoid wastage. Scoop the water from the bowl into the receptacles. · Try some floating and sinking activities. This doesn’t just have to be objects. You could see if sprinkled pepper floats on the surface, or salt, shampoo, vinegar, flour, etc. Then you could try coins, a Lego brick, a lolly stick, a key, etc. You might even build a little boat, or improvise with an empty butter tub and see how much cargo it can hold until it sinks. Can you count the items? Important vocabulary:
