Our start award winner from last week was Viktor, he received his reward for displaying our school values by making everyone feel included.
We have had another visit from the dragon! We came back from lunch on Monday to find a trail of green glitter leading to 3 bears sitting beside 3 bowls of porridge.
From the clues we guessed that the dragon wanted us to read Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We have had great fun reading and carrying out activities around the story. We created a story map using pictures to tell the story and we have completed 2 pieces of writing. The first one was a wanted poster. The children had to describe Goldilocks and where she was last seen. The second was a letter from Goldilocks saying sorry to the bears for going into their cottage without permission and causing damage. Some pictures below.
We are also creating an interesting wall display. Pictures in next weeks blog. Great news our bean plants now have little shoots. This week we have explored the life cycle of the bean plant and are early tracking their progress!
A group of children worked really hard to sequence the story. They communicate, collaborated and problem solved (all skills from Developing the Young Workforce). They were very proud of the results.
We are continuing to look at different ways of displaying information. This week we created a pictogram using our eye colour and a bar graph of animals in the zoo. The children can now identify just by looking at the graphs what is the most/least popular and some can say how much more popular one is than another.
Almost all children are now leading some part of learning, and some are feeling confident enough to support others. See below.
Some of our highlights as described by the children.
Vrishti – “I enjoyed writing the sorry letter to the bears”
Mark – “Number talks so that I can challenge myself”
Sophie “writing facts about Goldilocks for the wanted poster”
Archie – “writing sentences”
Louie – “using the big number line to count on and back”
Summer – ” learning our new l sound”
Connor ” reading fairytales”
We hope you can make it to our sharing the learning tomorrow. I will post pictures next week incase you are unable to come.
Have a lovely weekend.
