In reception the topic for our last half term is animals. We will be focussing on a different animal each week; this week we are learning about fish. The story that we read this week was Barry the Fish with Fingers by Sue Hendra.  
In literacy we have been adjectives to describe Barry and his friends from the story as well as comparing different types of fish. We have continued to practise using capital letters to start a sentence, finger spaces to separate our words, and full stops to end them. 
In maths we have been recapping addition and subtraction strategies, making sure that we check the signs carefully when we are solving calculations. We have used a variety of equipment such as cubes, Numicon, teddies and counters. We even practised writing our own number sentences. Some children moved on to addition and subtraction word problems too! The children have also been exposed to the technical vocabulary for these operations such as plus, add, subtract, take away and minus. 
In the last half term, our topic of focus for SEAL is changes. We may have over seven weeks left of the school year, but the summer holiday will be here before we know it! Therefore, we thought we would start talking about changes that will be happening soon including moving to year one. We discussed some of the changes that we will be experiencing in the next academic year including, meeting a new teacher, working with other adults, meeting new friends, learning new things, using a different playground and new toys. Then we talked about the things we are looking forward to in year one. We also discussed changes that have already happened in our lives, how we felt about those changes and how we can manage the feelings that changes provoke. Our responses reflect how much we have matured since starting school.

Spring Term in RRD

25/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Last term we spent time looking at a range of Traditional Tales including Goldilocks and the three bears, The Gingerbread Man and The Three Little Pigs. The children loved hearing different versions of the tales and talking about how they have changed over time. We concluded our topic by creating our own version of Little Red Riding Hood with a twist. The children have become amazing little authors and have taken great pride in the books they have created. We also made some beautiful cards for Mothering Sunday and were thrilled that our special adults enjoyed them. It took a lot of concentration and fine motor skills to create them and they were very proud of the final result.

A Pupil's Perspective from E.R. in class RT

25/4/2019

I like playing outside. My favourite thing is going on the slide. I love phonics. I love the letters that we learn. We've just been playing games to learn to spell. We’ve been helping Goldilocks make the right choices by making some new porridge for Baby Bear because Goldilocks ate all of Baby Bear’s porridge and she broke his chair. In maths times, we’ve been measuring, seeing how long I’ve been building cubes, standing on one leg, hopping and writing my name. We learned all about Mother’s Day and I tried to cut out some flowers for mummy. I love her because she gives me 3 kisses and 3 cuddles and sometimes she gives me some more.

Who's Been sitting in my Chair?

We started the half term in Reception by focussing on the story, ‘Goldilocks and the Three Martians’. It is very similar to a story that we already know. As our focus in literacy was using adjectives, we have been describing lots of different things including characters from the story and rockets that we designed. We were very creative! In maths, we have been looking at addition, working on finding the total amount by putting two groups of objects together. Some of us have been writing number sentences to represent this, too! Topic was all about floating and sinking. We made predictions about which objects we thought would float and which would sink, then tested our ideas. A few weeks ago, we had our Winnie the Pooh themed day, where we completed lots of Winnie the Pooh based activities such as describing characters, decorating honey pots, building bridges and playing Pooh sticks. We had so much fun! ​

RG Superheroes!

This half term we have been focusing on Superheroes! We have had so much fun reading stories about different types of superheroes and developing our understanding of their powers and responsibility. One week the Evil Pea from the book Supertato came and captured the vegetables. We worked together to complete challenges to set them free. When we read the book ‘Super Worm’, we came up with a magical chant that rhymed to save Super Worm. For Children in Need we tried to persuade Pudsey to become a superhero. We then created our own superhero. We thought about what powers, costume and sidekick we would have. We are now ready to save the world!

Reception have had a great start to school this week and have settled well into our lovely new building. We have focussed on getting to know each other, becoming comfortable in our new classrooms and settling into the new routine of our school day. The children have loved exploring the different areas of learning within our classrooms as well as our outside learning area. They are developing confidence and independence in using the continuous provision areas throughout Reception.

​We have started to practise recognising our names and holding our pencils correctly to help form neat letters. In addition, we have been talking about the things that we enjoy in Reception. Adam said he likes playing in the house (home corner) because he likes having a cake tea party in there. Stanley enjoys the construction area because he can build Transformers using Lego. Lyra and Pippa like coming to school to see their friends and play with them. Isabelle said she looks forward to going out onto the playground because she loves playing on the slide. We are so happy that the children are having a fantastic time in school!

In reception this week we have had lots of fun looking at The Gingerbread Man story! We have talked about what the characters look like, what they do in the story and even made our very own yummy gingerbread men! We have worked on our phonics skills and practiced using our sounds to write the character’s names and writing our own captions for pictures in the story.
​
In maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. We have compared 2D and 3D shapes and discussed how 2D shapes are “flat” and 3D shapes are “solid”. We had lots of fun being detectives and using magnifying glasses to find different shapes within our room!

​This week in Science week! A child in our class bought in something amazing that we couldn’t wait to investigate! She bought in some dinosaur eggs that she had made at home. She told us that when they hatched there would be a dinosaur in each of the eggs. As part of our science lesson we looked at the eggs and spoke about what they were made of. The child had bought in some vinegar that would make the eggs hatch.  We smelt the vinegar and spoke about where we had seen vinegar before.  We poured some of the vinegar on the eggs and watched in amazement at what happened. The vinegar reacted with the egg and made it fizz and foam. We watched in amazement and spoke about what had happened. We examined the eggs as they we hatching and spoke about why this had happened.  We investigated the eggs for the rest of the lesson and really enjoy looking at the eggs exploding.

​This week as part of our learning about Traditional Tales, we have been reading the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We then discovered that there was a troll living under the bridge in our playground at night and scaring the toys! We discussed different ways we could find and catch the troll, and then decided to write Wanted posters to tell others that we wanted to find him.
 
We have also been acting out the story, thinking about the characters and retelling it for our friends. One of the children said ‘I enjoyed learning about the Billy Goats Gruff because all of the goats get across the bridge.’
