The children had a great day dressing up and celebrating world book day.
The children had a great day celebrating Chinese New Year. We tried a selection of food, made Chinese lanterns and masks.
Wednesday 6th September was National Read a Book day. The children celebrated by choosing a book to read and look at. Once they had finished their story they swapped with their friends and spoke about the book they had looked at.
Our last term before moving in to year 1, and we have been very busy. In maths we have continued to work on our number bonds and numbers to 20. have a look at these photos of us using numicon to shpw our number bonds to 10.
In phonics and English we have been working on writing sentences. We have to remember capital letters, full-stops and finger spaces. It's alot to remember but we are starting to get there. Here is one of the sentences we have written.
We have also been busy planting sunflowers. We can't wait to watch them grow.
We have been reading the book Handa's Surprise. Here are some pictures of us acting out the story using props and dressing up.

RED NOSE/NON-UNIFORM DAY
WHAT THE LADYBIRD HEARD
We have been reading the book What the Ladybird Heard. We have a copy of the book as a play. We used masks of the characters to act out the story.
On world book day we all made a bookmark with our design or pattern on it. We went to year 2 and listened to stories read by the the teaching staff. In the afternoon we did a book scavenger hunt. We worked in pairs and had to find pictures in books. We then wrote the title of the book on our sheets. We also drew a character from our favourite story. This is our classroom door with all our pictures on it.
Spring 1 2022
On February 1st it was Chinese New Year. We made paper dragon pictures using lots of different shapes and we did colour by number tiger pictures as it is the year of the tiger in the chinese zodiac. We acted out the story of Chinese New Year using head bands with the animal pictures on. Joel was the emperor congratulating all the animals for crossing the river safely. The poor cat was too late to be a zodiac animal as the rat pushed him off the bull's back. That is why cats and rats are not friends. To finish off our day we were very lucky because Bella's mum brought in some amazing Chinese food for the children and staff. It was delicious. She even brought fortune cookies for us to take home.
In PE we practised jumping off the apparatus tables. Some of us found the higher table challenging to jump off and held a teacher's hand to give us confidence.
Miss Weall asked us what we would like as the new role play area. We decided we would like a castle. We bought some new things with the money kindly donated by parents, goblets, gold plates, some dressing up clothes and some foam swords and shields. The castle looks amazing. Some of us have made our own castles using cardboard boxes.
We made some shields with pictures that mean something to us. Here are some of us making them.
We have been reading a poetry book in English. We learnt the poem 'I am Rose' off by heart to recite as a class. The we looked at a poem called 'A Circle of Sun'. We acted out part of the poem. Here are our actions.
In English we have been reading a book called The Naughty Bus. In the book, the bus drives through a plate of food, doesn't pick up passengers and ends up falling in the pond because he is being silly. The Naughty Bus came to join our reception class. The next morning he had disappeared. We looked everywhere for him.
We looked everywhere. Then... Mrs Barrand and Mrs Sherrett from the office came to see us. The Naughty Bus had been in the office and taken lots of things belonging to the staff in the office. What a naughty bus!
The next morning, look what Naughty Bus had done.
The class gave Naughty Bus a yellow card. The next morning Miss Weall was shocked. Naughty Bus had made an even bigger mess. It took us ages to tidy it up.
Reception class gave Naughty Bus a red card and said that if he was naughty again he would have to leave reception class forever.
The next day...
... we got a letter that said the Naughty bus was sorry and that he would now be a good bus. We let him stay in our classroom.
In RE we explored how Christians celebrate giving a name to a baby. We talked about godparents and their role. Then we got our 3 dolls from the home role play and acted out a baptism/christening for each doll. One was christened Tiara, one Jomy and the third Mia. All the children acting the roles of mum, dad and godparents promised to look after the 'babies' and to make sure they always had everything they needed. The rest of the class also promised to take care of the 'babies' too. Some children acted out the role of the vicar and made a sign of the cross with water on the dolls foreheads. Here are some of the pictures from the lesson.
Look at some of the amazing learning we have been doing through continuous provision.
We have been doing lots of writing. We have learnt how to fold paper to put it in an envelope like a letter.
