The Ugly Duckling

Our focus story for this week and next is ‘The Ugly Duckling’.  We have linked the story to understanding of the world and found out about the life cycle of a duck, the children then cut out and completed a life cycle and added captions or sentences to explain it.   We also linked this with signs of spring and new birth.

In PSED we discussed why the Duckling felt so sad at the beginning of the story, and talked about how we should treat others.

Next week we will focus on the story structure, complete a story map, act out the story and have a go at writing it out in our own words.  The children will also be decorating their own Eggs, taking part in a duckling egg hunt and learning the Ugly Duckling song.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Our focus story this week has been Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.  We have based our Literacy and Maths around this.

In Maths the children have looked at capacity, they worked out which bowl / cup belonged to each bear and explained why.  They then investigated the capacity of different containers to work out which one would hold the most / least.

The children have acted out the story and in Child Initiated time had the opportunity to use the story props independently.   They have sequenced the story and had a go at writing it out.   The children have also had a go at writing a letter of apology from Goldilocks to the 3 Bears.

Class 1 made porridge, they used their senses to describe what it looked like, smelt like and tasted like.  We added different ingredients to each bowl and the children were able to talk about whether it was sweet, sour etc.

Some children chose to use the chalks to make a map from Goldilocks house to the 3 Bear’s cottage.

Read Write Inc

The children have continued to revisit Set 1 sounds and used them to write words and sentences.  We are starting to see a lot more children have the confidence to write in Child initiated time and show good use of  their phonics knowledge to sound out and write words.

Some children have revisited igh – fly high, ow – blow the snow and oo – poo at the zoo.   For each trigraph/digraph the  children have written their own independent sentence with words containing the sound.

Over the last 2 weeks, we have looked at 2d and 3d shapes.

The children have looked at identifying and talking about the properties of the shapes.

They have made shape patterns, shape pictures, built with 3 d shapes, made straw nets and clixi 3d shapes. The children have enjoyed singing – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=guNdJ5MtX1A
