Wanted: The Evil Pea

This week the children have been completing work based around the book, Supertato. Supertato is the vegetable superhero with super strength and speed. But there’s a pea on the loose. A very, very naughty pea is causing havoc and chaos and it’s up to Supertato to stop the Evil Pea. In Reception the children had to find the escaped peas and put them in the jelly jail. “Jelly jail, jelly jail, jelly jail.” chanted the Reception children. The children enjoyed finding the peas, which were hidden around the classroom and loved placing the peas into the jelly jail.

Once the peas had been returned to the jelly jail, it was time to write wanted posters to find the evilest pea of them all: The Evil Pea. The children spoke to their partners to discuss what the Evil Pea looked like. The children then joined in with some shared writing as the teacher modelled how to write simple sentences. The children used their Fred fingers to help segment and reminders where given to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. 

After the shared writing session, the children wrote their own wanted posters describing  the Evil Pea. The children used their phonic knowledge to write their wanted posters independently . “He is bad!” exclaimed  Donnie. “He is bad, he is green and mean. He has legs and arms.” explained Sia. Once the children had finished, they placed their wanted posters around their classroom.
