1 Red have really embraced our current LMTW theme ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’. They have shown so much enthusiasm both in and out of school producing some high quality pieces of work. They have taken their homework to the next level by making models, writing setting descriptions, describing the pirates and researching information about various foods animals from around the world. I am sure you’ll agree that their effort is superb!
Today in 1 Red we looked at foods from around the world as part of our LMTW theme ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’. The children talked about different cuisines such as, Italian, Indian and Chinese that they had experienced and whether they liked and disliked them. We then focused on different bread from around the world. The children had the opportunity to try various types of bread, guessing where they originated from. They used associated vocabulary to describe the taste and textures. It was definitely a success and some children now have some other foods they are excited to keep trying.
A busy week in Reception! Investigating ice and snow, building lots of transport ideas, using our Sounds Write skills and so much creativity! ⭐️❤️❄️👏
2 Red have returned to school refreshed and ready to learn! We hit the ground running in our new Learning Means the World theme, Paddington’s Passport, to find out all about the country of Peru.
We used our ever-improving teamwork skills to make group posters to display in our class.
In our new theme Paddington’s Passport we have been looking at the country of his birth, Peru. We decided to make a poster to show the Brown’s and other what Peru is like and why it is so special to Paddington. I am sure you’ll want to visit Peru too when you see our informative posters!
Today in our Learning Means The World session, we have been looking at the 7 continents. We learned a new song to remember the continents and we even ordered them from greatest to smallest. Did you know that Asia is the greatest continent? We then had great fun matching the continents to their place on the map.
Today in English we introduced our new text which is ‘Goodnight Pirate’. The text also links heavily with our new Learning Means the World theme ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’. The children will learn all about pirates as well as navigating the world using a compass and an atlas. To launch both our text and theme we played a game of ‘guess what is in the box?’ I described an object and the children had to identify it and try and say what it is used for or its purpose. We had a go at sounding out and writing the names of the objects too. It was a great lesson and a fabulous hook for the next few weeks. The children all seemed really excited, enthusiastic and ready to learn about it.
The last few Autumn activities and then we have been dipping a toe into Christmas!
As part of our ‘Come Fly With Me: Africa” theme we have been learning about different African dishes. This afternoon, we created a cous cous dish.
