W.B 16.1.22  The Little Red Hen.

What a fun week we have had! We have been exploring the Little Red hen story. We have made our own story map and we have innovated it to make a different story with a tiger in it who plants cucumber! We have written our own stories and we have acted out the story in the meadow. We have explored corn flour and made our own Gloop. It was cold but fun.

We sang a Little Red Hen song too- "Ha ha ha come and play. Little red Hen needs help today. Hahaha he he he Little Red hen is a friend indeed."

We had a music work shop and explored different instruments and rhymes.

In maths we have been counting and recognising numbers to 10 . We are trying to look at a group and just be able to recognise how many there are there.

In Guided we are becoming digraph spotters !

We  can't wait for next week.

Happy New Year to you all! W.B 9.1.22

How lovely it is to be back together again learning and having fun.

We shared our Christmas news and wrote thank you letters to father Christmas for our presents. We used our phonics to write on our own.

 We have been reading the Little Red Hen story and we are creating our own Pizza Express restaurant. We are really good at taking orders and Mrs Beaumont is getting very full with Pepperoni Pizza! It is quite expensive though. £100 for a pizza! 

We have written our own menus and we even deliver pizza. 

We have made our own story map and we have written our very own books of the story with the authors name on the front over. We have made puppets and we have been making our own bread. We had a carpet picnic. It was delicious! 
We tried some Hot Seating where we ask the Little Red hen questions- " How do you cut corn?" " You thresh it" How did you feel when the animals didn't help you?" "sad"

We have been doing some careful counting which is important when making sure that each Pizza has the right number of Pepperonis on it.

As well as all this we have been building towns, model making, painting, drawing and reading! We have had such fun and can't wait for next week.
