🌟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! 🎄
After reading Here Comes Jack Frost, Class 1 received a very important letter… a letter from Jack Frost himself!! It told us that Jack had been to visit us but because it has been so hold, he lost his hands and needed our help to find them! We quickly set off in search of his hands and finally found them in our garden! We took turns to feel his hands and used some fantastic vocabulary to describe them, including;
❄️ Freezing
❄️ Icy
❄️ Chilly
We then talked about how we could make sure Jack’s hands didn’t melt until he got them back. We had some wonderful ideas, such as, keeping them away from something warm, keeping them in the fridge and keeping them out of the sun.
Class 1 have been learning about Remembrance Day. We learned about Remembrance Day is, why it is importance and how we mark this occasion;
We discussed the importance of poppies and what they symbolised and using lots of different materials, created our our poppies. Using Lego bricks we stamped a poppy petal design and then painted our stems using green paint, we were able to create lots of beautiful flowers. We also used pipe cleaners, cupcake cases and pom poms to make our own flowers and even made some from play doh.
This week in Class 1, we have been enjoying lots of exciting Halloween activities!
Adding the legs onto the spider after the wicked witch’s spell took them all away!!
Pumpkin picking – read the words on the list and picking the graphemes for make the word
Wreath making
We have also been reading the book, Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. We focused on lots of different vocabulary including; broomstick, witch, cauldron and wand.
We then made our own spells! We chose one ingredient at a time from the witch’s cauldron and using our new spelling technique, wrote the word:
Say the word
Sound talk the word
Sound talk using segmenting fingers
Talk about how many sounds are in the word
Write it
This week in Reception, we read Leaf Man, where we followed the journey of a leaf character through some very imaginative autumn scenes. We discussed the different leaf creatures, thinking about what might happen to Leaf Man. The children really loved talking about the changes in nature during autumn—how leaves fall, the cooler weather, and the changes in the natural world around
We then went outside for an autumn hunt where we searched for fallen leaves, twigs, and other autumn items. Class 2 used some wonderful vocabulary, such as ‘crunchy,’ ‘chilly,’ and ‘colourful,’ to describe their items.
Afterwards, we got created our own leaf creatures. The children came up with unique and imaginative stories to go along with their creatures. It was a lovely way to connect nature, creativity, and language skills in a fun way!
This week we have been reading the story ‘In My Heart’ a book all about feelings! We discussed different feelings and times we have felt certain ways and used our Zones of Regulation to talk about how we could get ourselves back into the Green Zone.
We then created our own hearts, filled with things that make us happy and help us to feel calm, happy and regulated again
