  • Christmas Week

    Published 14/12/20, by Kate Butler

    We have done lots of fun things to get ready for our Christmas performance.

    We made stars and animals to hang in and around the stable.

     

     

    We made Christmas tree and star hats to wear during our singing performance and we were really lucky as Mr Mark made us a stable and a manger. Thank you Mr Mark! 

     

    We really liked learning the Christmas Story and making peg dolls to help us retell the story. We put these in our Christmas performance alongside small clips of each of us retelling the Christmas Story.

  • Instructions

    Published 14/12/20, by Kate Butler

    This half term we have also looked at instructions.

    We had a visit from our old friend 'Moon Rabbit' who told us that he was bored of eating carrot cake. He wanted the children to tell him how to make toast as he could often smell it during Breakfast Club. 

    We started off by ordering a set of instructions to make sure that we were making the toast in the correct order. We talked about why it is important to make sure that instructions are in the correct order. 

     

     

    We enjoyed retelling the instructions over and over again using the pictures to help us.

    We worked on our own, in partners and in small groups to tell each other the instructions. 

    Here is the map we used to help us! Once we were confident we start to make changes to our map to make it our own!

    For own independent write, we wrote out a set of instructions on how to make rice crispy cakes. We really liked thinking about what topping we would put on the top! Hmmm marshmellows, chocolate chips or some fruit ...

    Some children even went home and made their own rice crispy cakes. They looked delicious :)

  • Animal Factfiles

    Published 14/12/20, by Kate Butler

    This half term we have been exploring animal fact files. 

    We started off by learning our new map and and thinking of fun actions to go alongside.  We then drew our own maps using the same pictures to help us remember all of the facts about rabbits.

    Can you remember all the facts? Use the map to help you!

    We then spent time changing parts of the map to make it our own. Where there is a blank box we put our own ideas in and then wrote sentences to match!

    We had some lovely ideas and the children loved describing what rabbits look like!

    For our final independent piece of writing we wrote an animal fact file about an animal of our choice. We used the same headings to help us set out our ideas. 

    We had some wonderful fact files ranging from ants to crocodiles and the children enjoyed finding out information all about their animal!
