Which is YOUR favourite Roald Dahl book? …
We have had a fantastic World Book Day! We had a Golden Ticket hunt and found so many tickets. We drew the ‘Enormous Crocodile’ and then played some amazing Roald Dahl games!
We have had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day! We went on a book hunt around school then took part in lots of fun activities including making dream jars and Snozzcumber sandwiches. Everyone in 7 Blue dressed up as a character from a Roald Dahl book and looked amazing!
Today in English, 3 Blue have been creating their own jungle landscapes using paint. Our class book (which we don’t yet know the name of as Miss Clark won’t tell us) describes an old man dreaming about “a jungle full of wild forest animals” so we decided to have a go and create our own jungle landscapes. We looked at two jungle landscape artists: Henri Rousseau and Paul Gaugin for inspiration. We were so proud of out work and had so much fun!
We have been learning to edit and redraft our work in English. The children worked in pairs and travelled around the class visiting 4 different Editing Stations; Grammar Grove, Punctuation Point, Spelling Square and Add More Avenue. Everyone made improvements to their writing. Well Done 7 Blue!
Our current Learning Means The World theme is ‘Ticket To Ride!’ We have been using this throughout our learning. In maths we have looked at numbers, 1 more and 1 less, number bonds, shape and positional language. We have gone on magical train rides telling our friends where we would go and why. We used our sounds and made transport words such as van, bus, truck, sub etc And of course some snowy fun!
On Thursday, Nursery AM had a wonderful morning with some special visitors. Jackie joined us from Seven Stories in Newcastle (it’s definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been before), along with Mr Owens and student librarians from Hebburn Comprehensive School.
The students from Hebburn Comprehensive had bid for a grant from The Key as they were keen to enthuse younger pupils about reading and stories. Their bid was successful and we were lucky enough to be included in the project.
We read some lovely stories about owls and woodland creatures and enjoyed playing games and singing songs. Jackie was brilliant at storytelling and brought some brilliant props along.
At the end of the session, the children were very excited to be given a present from the students at Hebburn Comprehensive.
A huge thank you to Hebburn Comprehensive for including us in their project and to Jackie from Seven Stories for bringing the stories to life. We had an amazing morning!
As part of our theme Come Fly With Me, Asia we have been learning about India. Today we made a delicious curry! We have some budding chefs 😊 The children used their senses to describe how the ingredients in the curry felt, tasted, looked like and most importantly tasted after being cooked! We ate the curry with rice and naan bread and it was delicious. We were blown away by how many children tried it and enjoyed it.
To start our new Learning means the world theme ‘Cry Freedom’, 7 Blue listened to The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughn-Williams. We discussed what pictures the music created in our minds and how it made us feel. The soaring melody reminded us of bird’s soaring through the sky so the children wrote a Haiku poem called ‘Freedom of the Birds’
We have had a spoofy fun filled week in Reception. We have created spooky art, recreated some stories and drawn pictures, investigated pumpkins and so much more. We finished it all with a fabulous Halloween party!
