In Year R we have continued to read and learn the story of the Gingerbread Man and had a great time retelling the story with actions. We have been creating are own Gingerbread Men from loose parts, and drawing story maps. Busy, busy, busy!
Today was our biggest Achievement Assembly of the year with 31 children receiving certificates. We heard ne merit for each child, there was a huge variety in achievements this week, from being a good friend, to writing at home, helping tidy up the classroom and working hard in maths. We sang one of our new songs and celebrated with juice and a biscuit.
This week we have been telling the story of The Gingerbread Man. We created a map using objects, drawings or words to re-tell the story.
Swimming Gingerbread People
In Reception we have been investigating what would happen to the Gingerbread Man if he fell in the river. We put him in water for 1 minute and observed what happened to him. “He dissolved.” “He melted.” “It is just like when my mum dips her biscuit in her tea.”
Gingerbread Man Workshop
The Reception children took part in a Drama Workshop, where we performed the story of the Gingerbread Man to music with actions. We listened very carefully and had a great time retelling the story with Jack our visitor.
Today we celebrated another Achievement Assembly. The children shared lots of different merits: for being resilient, for reading at home, for being kind to their friends and for being ready to learn. We sang one of new songs about a Star Fish and shared our merit cards with the adults who came to help us celebrate.
We celebrated another Achievement Assembly this week. It was great to celebrate with Year R and Year 2. We enjoyed finding out what the children had earned their merits for, including following golden rules, being kind to friends who are upset and fabulous reading. We celebrated the children’s achievements with juice and a biscuit.
What a busy week in Reception this week! We have had a visit from the Dental team at Portsmouth University, celebrated Chinese New Year and be thinking about our mental health.
We celebrated the achievements of Year R and Year 1 on Friday. We shared one of the merits and the sang one of our new songs. We finished with a juice and a biscuit.
This week we have been learning all about staying SAFE on the Internet. In Reception we have been making banners to show how to stay SAFE when using online sites.
We have been learning all about the emergency services this week in Reception, looking at the vehicles from the past and the transport they use today. We have had great fun dressing up as ‘People who help us’, can you guess who we are?
This week in Reception we have had visits from Evil Pea and he has been up to mischief!
The children have been working hard to design and make traps to catch him. Look at all our fantastic work.
Achievement Assemblies are coming thick and fast at the moment. This week saw Year R and Year 2 receive their certificates. There were even some family combos this week – we don’t see that very often! It is always lovely to hear what the children have received their merits for – there were a lot of PE based merits this week as well as those for being kind to friends and helping people who are upset. Well do
