After reading ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ this week, we were so excited when we came into our classroom to find the giant had left us a present – our very own beans to plant! We looked at how we plant seeds and what they need to grow. We learned they need;
🫘Light
🫘Water
🫘Soil
We then planned our own seeds and we are so excited to see them grow!!🌱
Reception had a fantastic reading morning spent with our adults, who came along to our reading morning.
This week Class 2 had an important visit from a Road Safety Officer from South Tyneside Council. 🛣️ We learned about zebra crossings, different types of traffic lights, crossing patrol officers and how to stay safe when crossing the road.
We learned that we should always:
STOP 🛑 ✋
LOOK 👀
LISTEN 👂
THINK 💭
…before we decide to cross a road, and to always hold a grown up’s hand when we cross.
In Class 1 we have been working super hard to learn new sounds and new tricky words! We have been learning how to spell some of our new words using our spelling rules;
🌟Say the word
🌟Sound talk the word
🌟Sound talk using segmenting fingers
🌟Talk about how many sounds are in the word
🌟Write it
After reading “The Dinosaur that Pooped the Past” we went outside to find that something had been left in our garden. We took a closer look and couldn’t believe what we saw… it was dinosaur poo!!! We talked about how this must mean a dinosaur had been in our garden! We looked at it very closely (some of us even knew the dinosaur must be a herbivore because we could see lots of leaves and twigs!) and created a list of adjectives to describe it, including;
🦖smelly
🦖squishy
🦖soft
🦖lumpy
We then wrote some fantastic sentences to describe the poo using some AMAZING adjectives!!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Christmas Story Night! We had a gorgeous night returning to school in our pyjamas, sipping hot chocolate, and enjoying a lovely Christmas story together. The evening was filled with fun activities that got everyone into the festive spirit! 🎄
