FSU Newsletter
This term our topic is ‘Why do Kangaroos hop?’ where we are finding out
about Australia. Even though we’ve only been back at school 3 weeks, we’ve
discovered lots of interesting facts about the animals that live there… take
a look in the stars!
Some kangaroos are
as small as rabbits and
some are taller than
grownups!
Kangaroos can’t
walk backwards
because their
tails get in the way!
An adult Kangaroo
can
jump the length of a
bus!
FS2 have been doing animal races in PE and FS1 have been bouncing and
hopping to practise counting. In the creative area children have been making
Koala faces and an amazing Australian habitat using modrock and imagination!
We have really enjoyed looking on maps, globes and google Earth to find
Australia and we’ve noticed it is much bigger, hotter and drier than where
we live. We are also finding out about Australian artefacts like boomerangs
and didgeridoos, describing what they are like and discovering what you do
with them. It was great fun playing the didgeridoo!
Last week we had a go at some aboriginal art by finger painting and using
cotton buds to paint with. We are using these skills to decorate different
Australian animal shapes to put on our display so look out for when it is up!
This week we are learning about the ocean and surfing. We are painting
surfboards inside and outside whilst also focusing on balancing. We have
watched clips of the coral reef and have spotted loads of colours and
creatures. FS2 are making pet jellyfish too! Wow!
