Today in LMTW 1 Red looked at lots of breads from around the world. After lots of discussion and research we found out where each bread originated from and talked about whether we had tasted any of the different types. We then used our five senses to explore the bread, but our favourite sense used was the sense of taste. Most of the children enjoyed the bread tasting activity and were able to use associated vocabulary to describe what each one was like.
A very busy week in Reception. We have continued our theme ‘Ticket to Ride’. The children have been on imaginary train journeys telling us where they would go and what they might do when they get there. Played ‘stop and go’ where they have to safely drive and manoeuvre between their friends and stop/go when the sign is flashed. Built so many different types of transportation, one of our Drawing Club words, we will show you next week in our workshop! Drawn and painted various types of transport and used our Sounds Write skills to build words and write captions. ✈️❤️⭐️
Today in 1 Blue, we have been learning to read maps using symbols. We learned that symbols can represent a certain feature of a place. For example, one symbol we looked at was for a campsite, the symbol that represented this was a tent and a caravan. We then went on to look at a map of Jangaland and discuss what the symbols meant before looking at the key to check if we were right!
A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more! ⭐️❤️
1 Red have returned to school after the Christmas break very keen and eager to learn. In maths the children have working on place value within 20 and have been playing independently with a range of resources to support their learning. In Learning Means the World our new theme is ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat.’ We have been using a compass to plot and navigate points around the world and looking at the seven different continents and the countries within each one. We have used lots of role play to support our learning in both LMTW and English around the theme of pirates. The children have really enjoyed this aspect of learning and are linking it to other aspects of the curriculum and within their independent work. In PE we are exploring dance using our bodies to embrace rhythm and movement.
Today in our geography lesson, we looked at the 7 continents and the 5 oceans. We learned two songs to help us remember all of the continents and oceans. We then were able to identify where the continents are on the map and as a challenge, we located the oceans. If you ask us, we will be able to sing you our songs!
Take a look at what activities each year group carried out on or RE Day this week!
This week in LMTW we have been looking at links with other countries. The children were asked if they had any family or friends who lived in different countries, then they talked to each other about them. We shared various greetings from other countries such as ‘ola’, ‘bonjour’, ‘guten tag’ and ‘namaste’. The children had great fun working in partners greeting each other in different languages. We also looked at the world map to see where some of our family and friends lived.
Another busy week! The children are really developing their phonics and maths skills and using these skills in their independent time. Fabulous creative work and amazing team work.
Another fabulous week in Reception. In our learning means the world theme we have been visiting India. We have been looking at Indian culture, traditions and dancing! Our Sounds Write skills are developing and we have had so much fun in the snow!
