As part of our new text, ‘Leon and The Place Between’ the children have enjoyed completing some drama based activities. As you can see, they fully embraced the challenge.
A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more! ⭐️❤️
Take a look at what activities each year group carried out on or RE Day this week!
Today we talked about the Christmas story. We asked who knew the characters, who they were and which character was the most important in the story of Christmas . We discussed which parts the children in Reception are playing in our performance and how Christians often recreate the story in their church at Christmas. Some of the children then recreated the story and built a stable and others decided to paint the nativity scene.
In 2 blue this week we have been using computers and texts to research our favourite hero from our theme ‘Zero To Hero’. We wrote down all of the information we thought was important. We then went to the computer suite where we were shown how to use ‘Word’ to produce our writing. We were then taught how to change the size, type and colour of the font and how to search for, and insert a picture of our hero. We really enjoyed using these skills to make our work more interesting.
Another busy week! The children are really developing their phonics and maths skills and using these skills in their independent time. Fabulous creative work and amazing team work.
Another fabulous week in Reception. In our learning means the world theme we have been visiting India. We have been looking at Indian culture, traditions and dancing! Our Sounds Write skills are developing and we have had so much fun in the snow!
This week in Reception we have been using our knowledge of circles and triangles to sort and create shape pictures. We used lots of positional language as we made our way round the obstacle course. We have been working on our Sounds Write skills and made lots of fabulous creations!
A fabulous first week back! We have been looking at China in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Come fly with me Asia’. We have been looking at Chinese artefacts, writing our names in Chinese and we even made a Chinese restaurant in our home corner! We also talked about Remembrance Sunday and made poppies, our tree is looking amazing!
In English this week we have been looking at finding information about the text we are reading. We have found a skill that helps us dig deeper into what we predict the book could be about. The children were introduced to the front cover of Tad by Benji Davies and before we even opened the book we decided to dig into our minds to think of ideas the book could be about and what vocabulary we may come across. We worked in teams and created a ‘Mind Map’ of our ideas and connections. We were then able to read the story undertand the vocabulary and sequence with greter depth.
