1 Red made cookies for Granny!

28th September 2022L Chisholm

Throughout our theme ‘Happily Ever After’ we have been looking at fairytales. This week we have been reading and completing work around the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We decided that cookies are a great treat and that we would like to make them (to make sure they were good enough for Granny obviously).  We looked at a recipe and thought about what ingredients we would need.  We then used the correct equipment to weigh out the ingredients and mix the batter.  Our Teacher put them in the oven and took them out when it was time then we took them home to eat, before The Big Bad Wolf could smell them!

Happily Ever After for 7 Red

27th September 2022R Cave

In English we are exploring Fairytales. This week our tale is Little Red Riding Hood.

 

We made our own puppets and ‘acted out’ the story … the wolf was very frightening!

 

Challenge question – ‘What IS a Fairytale?, how is it different to other stories?’

 

 

Learning Means The World

15th September 2022deput y

We have launched our first theme of the year, which is based all around COMMUNICATION. During assembly the children found out how meerkats communicate with each other. Did you know that they take it in turns to watch out for predators and when everything is ok they make a low constant peeping known as ‘The Watchman’s song’? If a predator is spotted the guard alerts the others with a bark or a whistle.

People have been communicating with each other throughout the whole of human history, but how we communicate with each other has changed massively over the last 30 years.

We are going to be investigating all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of communicating in our new theme.

Reception Great British Bake Off!

17th June 2022K Richardson

This week during our theme ‘What on earth?’ we have been looking at small things. Then Reception used the story ‘Little Red Hen’ to support some of our learning. We decided to make some bread, the smell of baking bread was amazing and it tasted delicious! We certainly have some contenders for Great British Bake Off!

 

Our new additions in Reception!

26th May 2022K Richardson

Our new theme in Learning Means The World is ‘ What on earth?’  We have been looking at living things, old and new things and life cycles.  To ‘experience’ our learning we were so lucky to introduce in Reception some eggs in an incubator.  We watched the chicks hatch and grow.  Red and Blue class were a fabulous team and took great care of them!

 

Gruffalo Footprints

26th May 2022N Bramley

Last week we came into Nursery to find someone or something had left footprints on our floor.  We looked at the clues and thought about what it could have been.  It had big feet and sharp claws and it had brought leaves and branches through the nursery too.  After some careful thought, we decided that it could have been a Gruffalo!

We have had lots of fun with our Gruffalo activities this week and last.

Some of the activities included;

  • retelling the story in the tuff tray and with the story stones
  • using our maths skills to order by size and recognise digits to 5
  • role playing in the Gruffalo Café and home corner
  • exploring habitats and animal homes
  • creating natural art inspired by the Gruffalo
  • heading out on a Gruffalo hunt in the garden
  • making play-dough Gruffalos
  • using shapes to make Gruffalo faces

Take a look at the photos to see what else we have been up to.

For the last couple of weeks we have been using the book ‘Leaf’ by Sandra Dieckmann as our text for our English lessons.  As you can see we have produced some amazing work; researching polar bears, creating reports, writing  in role. We have also created some brilliant freeze frames.
