Balancability and Jack and the Beanstalk

It’s been a busy few weeks for us in Reception with the children taking part in Balancability and Fun Factory which took place on Tuesday of this week. Balancability will continue to take place on Friday mornings with the children learning lots of bike riding skills, they have had fun so far!!

 

Since we started Term 5, we have been looking at the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have acted out the story (after we had embarrassed ourselves first by acting it out panto style, sorry no pictures) and been creating their own story maps to help them retell the story really well. Next week they will be writing the story themselves, we look forward to reading and seeing all the books they create.

Red Ditty Books in Reception

Our Reception children have been working hard this term; learning to read their first Red Ditty books and write about the stories they have read.

They’ve been learning to teach and support each other with the help of their ‘stick of power’. We are really impressed with their enthusiasm and confidence that they show in the RWI sessions!

Well done for all your hard work Reception 🙂

 

Helping your child to blend sounds

Thanks so much to the parents who attended our blending session today, got involved and even practised their sounds!

Here is a video from Ruth Miskin all about blending.

We are holding a ‘speedy reading’ RWI session for those children who have begun their Red Ditty books in Reception on Friday at 9am
