Reception have been showing off their independent reading, writing and maths skills. We have been reading words, hunting for them outside and writing sentences. We are using skittles, counters and objects to investigate number bonds of 10. We have decorated pots and then sprinkled cress seeds in to make cress heads. We talked about what the seeds need so that they will grow. We have some new additions to Reception. Everyone was so excited to see the frogspawn. We will be investigating how they change, grow and how we can look after them.
Wow, what a busy time Reception have had. We have been looking at the Emergency Services and how they help us. The children have been full emersed and are ready to join when they are older! We have been using the story Three Billy Goats in Drawing Club and the children have loved creating bridges, recreating the story and writing sentences about the story. We have also been measuring our hands and feet. A fabulous couple of weeks!
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!
Today in Year 1, we have been looking at environmental issues, one of which was litter. We discussed how it is everybody’s responsibility to look after the environment and ways in which we could do so. We then went out litter picking! We are happy to say that our school looks amazing and that actually there wasn’t lots of litter to pick which means that Hebburn Lakes Primary School is amazing at looking after the environment!
We have had a perfect pirate week in Reception! Lots of pirate creations such as hats, maps, ships and so much more. Amazing combining of groups, reading, building and spelling words and reading our everyday words. Our sentence writing is developing as well as our independence ☠️⚓️⭐️❤️
Today in LMTW 1 Red looked at lots of breads from around the world. After lots of discussion and research we found out where each bread originated from and talked about whether we had tasted any of the different types. We then used our five senses to explore the bread, but our favourite sense used was the sense of taste. Most of the children enjoyed the bread tasting activity and were able to use associated vocabulary to describe what each one was like.
A very busy week in Reception. We have continued our theme ‘Ticket to Ride’. The children have been on imaginary train journeys telling us where they would go and what they might do when they get there. Played ‘stop and go’ where they have to safely drive and manoeuvre between their friends and stop/go when the sign is flashed. Built so many different types of transportation, one of our Drawing Club words, we will show you next week in our workshop! Drawn and painted various types of transport and used our Sounds Write skills to build words and write captions. ✈️❤️⭐️
Today in 1 Blue, we have been learning to read maps using symbols. We learned that symbols can represent a certain feature of a place. For example, one symbol we looked at was for a campsite, the symbol that represented this was a tent and a caravan. We then went on to look at a map of Jangaland and discuss what the symbols meant before looking at the key to check if we were right!
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! ⭐️❤️
