This week we have enjoyed literacy work inspired by Wacky Races. We ended the week by holding our own 'wacky races' in the village using our scooters and bikes. We travelled from school, down the hill, along the road, over the bridge in the park, around the skate park and back up the hill to school again.
We have had a great day celebrating World Book Day. We shared our costumes during assembly, wrote about our characters and also took part in some 'hot seating' to answer questions in character role. In the afternoon we watched a live story time and draw along with author Raahat Kaduji.
Year R have thoroughly enjoyed all things 'Gingerbread'. After reading the story of The Gingerbread Man they have designed their own gingerbread characters, traps for the fox and lots of other learning with a gingerbread twist. Of course, we finished off the week by eating real gingerbread men.
The class have been very excited to start Drawing Club as part of their literacy learning. We use a different text each week to learn new vocabulary and draw our ideas each day. It's proving to be a very popular area of the classroom. Texts we have used so far are: The Three Little Pigs, Penguin (by Polly Dunbar), We're going on a lion Hunt, The Pink Panther. Year R have been embracing the cold weather to start the New Year. They have been hunting and melting ice, playing 'ice' hockey and setting up polar play areas in class.
This week we have enjoyed performing our Nativity play, going to the Panto at the Northcott Theatre, visiting the church for a Christingle service and having a yummy Christmas lunch.
Year R class entertained in their first ever show. They were very eager singers and groovy angels, who made us all very proud.
Using the story 'Look Up' by Nathan Bryon as a starting point, the class have enjoyed lots of learning about space. The children learnt facts, thought about what they would see in space and what they would take on a space adventure.
