Fruit tasting

This week we are continuing with our unit about ourselves, concentrating on taste.

 

Each day a different group of children will be tasting a selection of fruit and thinking of ways to describe how it feels, looks and what it tastes like.

With the leftover fruit we will make a fruit salad on Friday to enjoy after our walk on Friday afternoon.

Tractor fun

We had a surprise today, we went to see to 2 tractors.  A red and a yellow one.

We were very excited and we all wanted to look inside.  First we all looked inside the yellow one.

“There were loads of buttons and 2 seats and I turned the steering wheel.”  Harley

“It was hard to go up the steps I had to hold on to the bars to go up.”  Isabella

“I liked the the bonnet on the yellow tractor because it was big.” Charlie B

A busy week in Class One

This week the children in Class One have enjoyed reading the story ‘Funny Bones’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.   They have talked about the story, discussed their favourite character, drawn skeletons, made skeletons and labelled the human body.

In phonics Reception children have been practising s/a/t/p/ and learning i/n/m/d.

Year 1 children have practised j/v/w/x/y/z .

The children have been practising segmenting and blending words with these letters and enjoyed using some of the phonics games here to help support their learning – http://www.iboard.co.uk/teacher/bictonclass1/1

In Maths we have been busy counting , ordering and recognising numbers.  The children have used The Gingerbread Man Topmarks game to help them – http://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/gingerbread-man-game  This game works really well on tablets and would be fun to play at home too.

A great first day back in Class One

Class One have had a brilliant day so far. The children are all getting on really well and are making each other feel very welcome and at home in the classroom. We have shared our holiday news this morning – it sounds like you have all had a very busy summer! The Reception children have started looking at their little bags and books that they could collect things in over the summer – lots of interesting things to see. The Year One children have spent time with Mrs Conde sharing their news too and have all written their first piece of work in their English books. They tried very hard to use their phonic knowledge and all did extremely well! They have all drawn a picture on the ‘Paint’ programme on the laptops too. This afternoon, we are going to get changed for Physical Development and have some fun developing our co-ordination, balance and agility skills.
