Reception Blog- Week Beginning 19.09.22
Date: 23rd Sep 2022 @ 9:33pm
We have had a busy week in reception. In our English learning we have been reading about the familiar story 'Little Red Riding Hood'. On Monday we were shown a wonder picture of the big bad wolf and had to say what we could see and what we wondered about the picture. After we read the book we made a story map and then enjoyed following our own map to retell the story using voices and actions.
In phonics this week we have learnt some new phonemes and have enjoyed looking at the grapheme cards and learning the new formation rhymes in handwriting.
In our afternoon learning we have been inspired by the artist Picasso. We looked at his famous painting 'The Weeping Woman' and then looked at our own features in a mirror and made our own pastel pictures.

This week we have started our new topic 'The Countryside'. We started our new learning by finding out what foods you might see growing on a farm. At first we thought we might see mangos and bananas but after lots of research and talk time we found out that wasn't quite right.
We discussed how the farmers grow their vegetables and fruit. Then we talked about what food we can get from different animals for example eggs from chickens and milk from cows.
Then we got to try some foods. The children really enjoyed trying lots of new foods like swede, cabbages and radishes. At home, could you ask your children which food they likes and which one they didn't.

Date: 16th Sep 2022 @ 1:59pm
Year 6 had a fabulous time with Mr B learning all about World War II. They learned what life really like for children and adults in World War Two. To have to cope not only with the rationing and evacuee programmes, but also the Blitz, the Battle of Britain and the threat of being invaded. They explored how people were able to live in a time when sticking together and standing strong was not only expected but essential. They got to carry out lots of hands on activities, including creating Black out windows, dressing up and handling WW2 artefacts and even learning how to bandage up their friends using WW2 instructions. What a fabulous start to our World War II topic! Ask your child all about it and see what interesting facts they know.

What an amazing start to Class 6 the children have had!
We began our week exploring our book of the week; Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure. The children loved the different characters that Charlie and his crew met along the adventure through the deep dark wood. They shared amazing adjectives and showed good knowledge of language that blew us away!
Their number knowledge in maths tested their knowledge of place value which then they had to use to help the pirates solve the clues to solve the problem; Who had stolen the pirates treasure map? We found the suspect just in time for the Jolly Rodger's to set sail in search for the treasure!
We are excited for our WOW starter in Topic next week which links our Geography lessons this half term to the Countryside. Share stories or family photos from times you may have visited a farm or local countryside together and discuss the following terminology as a family; cattle, stile, hedges, cobbled lane, drystone wall, resevoir.
