Reception’s Stickman learning continues…

Today we have been carrying on with our Stickman journey and discussing our family. We have written booklets about the people who live in our house and then created our  family tree out of paper. I am very impressed with how hard the children have been working and that they are remembering lots of their phonic skills. Well done everyone! You can have a try at your own writing and family tree at home.

Reception Weekly Home Learning

The reception children in school this week are learning through the story of Stickman by Julia Donaldson.

Here is a link to the animated version if you don’t have the story:

Stickman

Today we talked about the different emotions that Stickman might have felt and compared these with how the children felt before they came to school this morning. We talked about how it is okay to feel different emotions at different times and why it is important to talk about how we feel.

We have also tried some natural material painting using sticks and pinecones. Have a try at home. We will share our learning with you again tomorrow so you can have a go too!

Literacy Weekly Challenge

Hello Reception. This is the final week in our animal theme. For literacy we would like you to watch Rumble in the Jungle (or share the book if you own it).

Then choose from the following:

Dress up as an animal from the story and try and move / sound like it. We would love to see some photos and videos.

Write some clues without giving away the animals name and read it to a grown-up. Can they guess the animal you were thinking of? E.g. It has stripes. It runs fast. The first letter in its name is z.

Make a flap book where you draw the animal and hide it under a paper flap. You could add your clues to each page.

Imagine you could be an animal. What would you be? Can you write a story about turning into an animal and the adventures you would have?

Dexter’s Home Learning

Well done to Dexter for having a go at our literacy challenge this week. What a great list of animals you have written. You have also been learning all about odd and even numbers.

Have you tried sharing an odd or even number of sweets with someone in your family? Would you rather have an odd number, like 5, or an even number, like 6?

A message from the children in school

After seeing our staff video message, some of the children in school wanted to write messages to their teachers, classes and family members. We really enjoyed putting this video together. There were a lot of laughs and retakes involved! Enjoy!

VE Day music and drama

On VE Day, the children learnt Makaton for the song “We’ll meet again”, quoted Winston Churchill and released planes to symbolise the end of the war. We were extremely impressed with how much the children cared about making this day special. Well done!
