A fabulous Halloween spooktacular week in Reception! Potions, spells, magical moments and amazing creativity
Take a look at some of the homework created this half term linked to ‘Lightning Speed’. Well done year 4.
We have definitely embraced Autumn in Reception this week! Making Autumn wands, repeating patterns and prints and capacity using conkers. The children have been using their Sounds Write skills and emerging handwriting to write sounds and words. A very busy and fabulous week ❤️
What a busy week Reception has had. Lots of measuring capacity, length and weight! Sounds Write skills are being shown everywhere and it’s fabulous! So much creativity and team work ❤️⭐️❤️
In Year 1, we have been making bags for a fairy. We designed our bag yesterday and then today we made them. We had lots of rules that we had to follow so that the bag was right for the fairies, for example it needed to be small so they can carry it and it also cannot harm any nature so flowers were off limits! We took great pride in our creations and we were so proud of how our bags turned out and we hope the fairies love them just as much as we do!
As part of our ‘Lightning Speed’ theme, the children in year 4 have researched, designed and created a prototype for their own communication device. They even created their own circuits to be used in their devices.
In LMTW as part of Design and Technology we have been designing and making bags for a fairy. We looked at various styles of bags that we use to carry things but then we decided a fairy needed a small lightweight bag to carry as fairies are small and delicate. The children enjoyed designing, making and decorating their bags!
In Learning Means the World we have been looking at weight and measurement in our DT/Maths aspect of the curriculum, so we decided to make cookies like Little Red Riding hood did to take to her grandma. We looked at all the ingredients needed, followed a recipe and weighed and measured the correct amounts to make the cookies before mixing, kneading and cooking. We finally ate them and the general consensus was that they were delicious.
Today in 1 Blue, we have been looking at fairytales as a part of our Learning Means The World Theme. We read the story of Little Red Riding Hood and we decided to get our aprons ready in order to bake Grandma’s cookies like in the story. We had a go at weighing out the ingredients, mixing them together and then we cut out our own cookies. We can’t wait to taste them!
What a fabulous fortnight we have had we have worked so hard.
We have made rocky road, puppets and flip book animations. We have also been partitioning numbers in Maths and bringing characters to life in English and Drama
Have a look at a few of our photos from the last few weeks, see if you can spot the VIPs who dropped in for breakfast!
