What a wonderful week it has been in our classroom, the enthusiasm for learning and exploring has been overflowing! The room has been buzzing with Bobby Bee’s growing their brains!
We have been talking about what we mean by character and settings in different stories. We looked at three pictures and described the characters and thought about where the characters were and made predictions about what was going to happen next. We will explore the story further next week and find out what happens to the main character, Mr Bear. Below you can see our fabulous ideas of what the characters are saying in the different pictures.
The children were incredibly respectful and calm during our moment of silence during Remembrance Day. We made some beautiful poppies to help us remember all the people and families of those who gave so much for us.
In RE this week we have been talking about the families we belong to and we realized we don’t only belong to our families at home, but also our Reception class family and our school family. We thought about God, who is part of all of these families and His love keeps us all together. We talked about how we could be great members of our different families by always showing love and compassion to others.
In Maths we have been exploring 4, the children have been fantastic at identifying when a collection of objects is 4 or not 4 and have been explaining why. Here are some of the brilliant ideas we had…
‘2 and 1 more makes 3 so there isn’t 4’
‘2 and 2 makes 4’
‘3 and 1 makes 4’
‘1 and 1 and 1 and 1 makes 4’
3 is smaller than 4, there is not enough’
In Read Write Inc this week we have learnt three new sounds and had great fun blending sounds together, some of us are starting to segment the sounds too!
For ‘k...k..k’ we go ‘down the kangaroo’s body, tail and leg’.
For ‘u..u..u’ we go ‘down and under the umbrella, up to the top and down to the puddle’.
Finally for ‘b..b..b’ we go ‘down the laces, over the toe and touch the heel’.
We have added these sounds to the flashcard sets.
