We will now be changing books on Tuesday for Two's class children and Thursday for Pre School.
Reception Class - Group Reading
Reception have been working hard to apply their phonics knowledge to their reading. They have been working on ‘speedy reading’ breaking down the word into sounds and blending together to read the words.
Pre School - Katie’s Sunflowers
In literacy this week we have started a new story called Katie and the sunflowers. Katie goes to a gallery and sees a beautiful picture of some sunflowers. We discussed what we would see in a gallery and learnt some new words from Grandma Fantastic. We decided to create our very own sunflowers.
Two’s Room - Dear Zoo
We have had a good week so far in nursery. We have been looking at our story, Dear Zoo. We dressed up like the different animals and moved our bodies and made noises like the animals. We made animal footprints using the different coloured paints. We also made elephants which have long trunks and big ears! In our physical development room we have been practising our crawling and climbing skills. More fun to come!
Pre School - Little Red Riding Hood
This week the children have been learning about the fairy tale Little Red riding hood. We have developed our fine motor skills using the tweezers to get the pom poms out of the forest. We developed our skills for maths with Grandma's cakes, giving a plate to Red riding hood, Grandma and wood cutter, even though we gave out the cakes the total remained the same. We played a game of hide and seek with Grandma and revisited a lesson on our senses.
Year 1 Guided Reading
Year 1 have enjoyed reading this week! They have worked hard looking at new vocabulary, sounding out, blending and talking about what is happening in the story.
Year One - English
Year 1 have been learning about Toys of the Past in English this term and thoroughly enjoyed our Experience day last week. We made party hats and enjoyed a teddy bears picnic (in class because it was raining) but we didn't let that spoil our fun! We also thought of different adjectives and alliterative words to describe teddy bears. E.g Tiny Teddy, Terrific Teddy, Brown Bear, Beautiful Bear and use these ideas in our writing the following day.
Year 6 - English
Over the last two days in our English lesson we have been learning about Mount Everest. We have learned a lot of interesting facts and discussed what we need to take in our rucksack.
Reception Class - English - Writing about Penguins
Reception class have been learning all about penguins this half term. During our English lesson the children wrote the sentence ‘the daddy penguin hugs his baby.’ The children applied their phonetic knowledge, identifying tricky words and using their segmenting skills. Great effort everyone!
Reception Class - Phonics and Early Reading
Reception Class have been settling into their new routine of guided reading and phonics. We are developing our blending, segmenting and writing skills.
Two’s Room - Kitchen Disco
We have started looking at our new book, Kitchen disco! It has lots of fruits and vegetables inside the book and so we have been exploring the different kinds of fruits and vegetables today. We touched and smelt the fruits and vegetables and talked about what they were called. We also played with the carrots and the lettuce in the water. We have lots of fun activities planned for this week. Here are some photos of what we have been up to today.
