Welcome to the Aquamarine class page!
Welcome to the Aquamarine class page! My name is Miss Thomas and I am the class teacher for Aquamarine class. Aquamarine is Reception and it is also known as Foundation Stage Two (FS2). Here at Dunsville, we work closely with Amber class (Nursery) during child-initiated time within our Foundation Unit.
Miss Wicks, Miss Fenton, Mrs Outram and Mrs Stewart also work with us across our foundation stage unit.
Our staff in our Foundation Unit help to support and enhance our learning opportunities as we learn through play.
Every day we are busy exploring and investigating the different areas in our classroom both inside and outside. We are outdoors in all weathers and we love to explore and create our own new environments to play in!
Here are some photographs of us enjoying our classroom!
In Phonics, we have been learning to recognise and read words containing our Phase 2 and 3 graphemes. We have been practising saying the phonemes and writing the graphemes using our robot talk! We continue to practise robot talking our words before writing the words in our sentences.
We have really enjoyed learning about the lifecycle of a chick and watching the eggs hatch! Whilst with us, we observed the changes in them from eggs to small fluffy chicks! After a week the chicks soon started to grow some feathers on their wings! We really enjoying holding them, stroking them, feeding and taking care of them each day!
We know that the chicks continue to be well looked after and we get regular updates sent to us.
Our fabulous art work...
Here we are enjoying our 'Kings and Queens' topic!
