A busy week in Reception! Investigating ice and snow, building lots of transport ideas, using our Sounds Write skills and so much creativity! ⭐️❤️❄️👏
2 Red have returned to school refreshed and ready to learn! We hit the ground running in our new Learning Means the World theme, Paddington’s Passport, to find out all about the country of Peru.
We used our ever-improving teamwork skills to make group posters to display in our class.
In our new theme Paddington’s Passport we have been looking at the country of his birth, Peru. We decided to make a poster to show the Brown’s and other what Peru is like and why it is so special to Paddington. I am sure you’ll want to visit Peru too when you see our informative posters!
Today in our Learning Means The World session, we have been looking at the 7 continents. We learned a new song to remember the continents and we even ordered them from greatest to smallest. Did you know that Asia is the greatest continent? We then had great fun matching the continents to their place on the map.
Today in English we introduced our new text which is ‘Goodnight Pirate’. The text also links heavily with our new Learning Means the World theme ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’. The children will learn all about pirates as well as navigating the world using a compass and an atlas. To launch both our text and theme we played a game of ‘guess what is in the box?’ I described an object and the children had to identify it and try and say what it is used for or its purpose. We had a go at sounding out and writing the names of the objects too. It was a great lesson and a fabulous hook for the next few weeks. The children all seemed really excited, enthusiastic and ready to learn about it.
The last few Autumn activities and then we have been dipping a toe into Christmas!
As part of our ‘Come Fly With Me: Africa” theme we have been learning about different African dishes. This afternoon, we created a cous cous dish.
This week Reception have been all things pumpkin as we have been using the story Pumpkin Soup in English . We investigated, counted, painted and created so much pumpkin themed learning! We also talked about Remembrance Day and created poppies for our tree⭐️❤️⭐️
We have had a very busy first week back! Using our maths skills, Sounds Write skills and being very creative. We have been looking at China and visiting our Chinese restaurant we created.
