Story Time
Each week a different teacher will read a story. This week Ms Jones is reading. We hope you enjoy listening.

PICTURES FROM SCHOOL

The children have had great fun this week listening to the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker and making their own shoes.  They also had a go a writing a story based on the book.  This week’s tasting was lettuce that the children had grown themselves.  Reactions were mixed! Some of the more positive comments included ‘delicious’, ‘fantastic’, ‘scrumptious’ and ‘really good’. We’ve also been practising our number bonds/pairs to ten and have been counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

TERM SIX – TRADITIONAL TALES

This term our topic in Reception is Traditional Tales.  Over the next seven weeks we will be looking at the following stories and linking these with our learning.

• Cinderella
• The Gingerbread Man
• Billy Goats Gruff
• The Three Little Pigs
• Goldilocks and the Three Bears
• The Elves and the Shoemaker
• Little Red Riding Hood

You could also look at other traditional tales that your family enjoyed when they were growing up.  Do you have a different favourite fairy story?  Feel free to explore these other stories, especially if you have books and toys at home that relate to that story.

Week commencing 13^th July

Little Red Riding Hood

Here are some ideas you could try this week.

Literacy

Keep practising the Set 6 butterfly keywords: away, come, said, going, play, all, to, day.  See if you can still remember how to read and spell all the other sets from this year.

Use the RWI website to keep practising the sounds, blending them to read words, and also breaking words up into their sounds (segmenting) to help with spelling.

Read the story Little Red Riding Hood https://www.worldbookday.com/videos/little-red-riding-hood-2/ Discuss the conversations that have taken place in the story.

You can watch the ballet version too https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000h479/cbeebies-little-red-riding-hood-the-easter-ballet-2020

Try completing the speech bubbles.  Read the sentences and match to the correct character.  Cut and stick the speech bubble with the correct character.

Play Phonics play – Phase 4. https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/buried-treasure

You can check which sounds you know confidently.

 Maths

Check if you can count to 20, put numbers from 1 – 20 in order and say which is one more and one less. Can you write the numbers too?

Have a go at playing these maths games:

Art/UW: What are we looking forward to in Year 1?

The children in school are creating a book of their memories from reception so it would be lovely if you sent us in some of your memories and highlights.  There are some photographs from the time children have spent in Year 0 on this website.  Have you got some photos from your first day, the dressing up days, or any of the assemblies we have performed or even from our nativity?  You might have some photos of your new friends if you have been to their parties or on some playdates.  What have you enjoyed? What might you be looking forward to in Year 1?

You could do some illustrations and list some things you want to learn and some things you want to do more of.

RE

Here is a prayer about change and new beginnings.  Think about moving to Year 1 whilst you illustrate the prayer and we can add it to our class book.

Can you remember your class value?

Class Values; 0J – Compassion, 0D – Thankfulness, 0BM – Service

Have you shown this value during lockdown and into coming back to visit school?

Write down your ideas of how you’ve shown your class Christian value and draw a picture.  This can be added to the class values display book.

PE

Mr Snook, Mr Brinkworth and Mr Taylor have challenged you to take part in a Sock Heptathlon. Watch this clip to find out about each event, get a ball of socks ready and have some fun!

 PSHE

Look at the ebook https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/tf-l-124-jakes-first-day-ebook ‘Jake’s first day’ and think about your first day in Reception. How did you feel? How do you feel about moving to Year 1?

Science

What is the weather like today?  What clothes do you wear in the summer? Why is it important to drink lots of water?  Do you know the dangers of the sun and what you can do to be safe (use suncream, wear a hat, have lots to drink).  What do you like to do on a hot day?  Do you remember going anywhere in particular? What did you wear?

For more ideas to do with Little Red Riding Hood, look on the image page on Google and choose some ideas to try based on the resources you have to hand at home.

You could also use these last few days to explore some other Traditional Tales.  For example:

Jack and the Beanstalk

Sleeping Beauty

The Princess and the Pea

The Frog Princess

Aladdin

STOP PRESS – the potatoes are harvested!

Have a look at the latest and final presentation. Grow your own Potatoes 

The children in school each took a potato home to wash, cook and eat.

They also enjoyed a drama workshop.

Visitors

Reception have enjoyed learning about people in the community around us and have had many visitors over the last few weeks.

Muddy Monday

Reception thoroughly enjoyed their science this week during Muddy Monday where they explored ‘What goes through’.  Using sieves and colanders and a range of materials,  we discovered  what materials could or couldn’t pass through a sieve.

Christmas 2019

The Reception children have enjoyed some fabulous Christmas activities. They shared a delicious Christmas lunch together with their teachers. They wore party hats and enjoyed a two course meal cooked by the wonderful kitchen staff.  The adults served them and the children were particularly appreciative!

Each class performed a Nativity show called Whoops-a-Daisy Angel! The children rose to the challenge and the parents loved all three performances. Some adults even admitted to shedding a few ‘happy tears’!

Agnes 0B – I liked the pigs in blankets. I liked the performance because mummy took a picture of me.

Sonny 0B – I liked the pudding – it was a Christmas tree ice cream!  Our show was amazing because everybody clapped.

Lucas 0S – I saw my mum and dad when I was an angel. I sang and sang and sang.

Saffron 0S – Yummy, yummy, it was yummy. I had gravy and an elf came, he hides everywhere.

Gloria 0D – I like the song ‘I have to fly to Bethlehem’.

Thomas 0D – I liked our Christmas lunch. The teachers gave us our lunch and sat with us.

Book Week 2019

During this year’s eco book week the reception children shared many different stories about the environment. They enjoyed the story The Trouble with Dragons and wrote about why they liked this book. They also drew pictures of the Truffula Trees (from The Lorax), drew pictures of Christopher Nibble and decorated themed bookmarks.

The children enjoyed visits from storytellers and poets, including Kate Wilson, and were thrilled when Oreo and Rolo, the Guinea pigs, came to school for the morning. On the last day of book week, the children came to school dressed in something green.

Bertie 0B – Book week was fun, I enjoyed seeing the Guinea pigs.
Elizabeth 0B – I enjoyed stroking the Guinea pigs.
Ivy 0S – I liked it when we dressed up.
Otis 0S – I liked dressing up in green and all the books.
Jan 0D – I liked the story about the dragons.
Hetty 0D – We dressed up in our pjs and we had a drink of hot chocolate.
