Our children have coped brilliantly with their first full week. They have thoroughly enjoyed learning about ‘Goldilocks and the 3 Bears’, especially getting to make porridge. We have decided to continue with traditional stories. This week we will be basing our learning around the book, ‘The 3 Billy Goats Gruff’.
Your child will be taking part in the following activities and routines:
Personal, Social and Emotional
- Being encouraged to demonstrate friendly behaviour, initiating conversations and forming good relationships with peers and familiar adults.
- Responding to simple instructions and following rules.
- Learning to put away activities once they have finished playing with them.
- The police station has proved very popular so we will be doing some more detective work encouraging the children to generate the questions and solve clues as to who broke the bridge? Whose footprints do they belong to? How do you know? How did the bridge break?
- Communicating freely about own our homes and community.
Physical Development
- Making trolls out of play dough developing fine manipulative skills.
- Hall session: The children will continue to go out in small groups to work with our Sports Coach, Mr Clark. Please bring in PE kits as soon as possible.
Literacy
- We will be continuing our daily phonics sessions, learning set 1 letters and beginning to blend simple words.
- We will be sending home a daily practise sheet for you to complete with your child.
- The children have been issued with a reading book and reading record. Please encourage your child to talk about the pictures and make up their own stories. Every time you listen to your child read, please make a comment in their reading record- this may even be a bedtime story, it does not have to be their school reading book. Please ensure your child has their reading book in school on their reading day.
- Listening to the story, ‘The 3 Billy Goats Gruff’ and recalling events.
- Listening to alternate stories to stimulate thinking skills. Ask what would have happened if… the big Billy Goat Gruff had crossed the bridge first? The troll came back one day? The troll was friendly? The little goat found a boat? If a horse crossed the bridge? Etc…
- Continuing Ten Town – our number formation scheme. Learning to form numbers.
- Developing an understanding of positional language, such as; across, beside, next to, below, above, under, on top, over, in, on etc…
- Reinforcing size activities developing vocabulary. Is the goat tiny or minute, gigantic or enormous, mediocre or average etc…
Understanding of the World
- Creating small world scenes of ‘The 3 Billy Goats Gruff’.
- Using the interactive story maker to tell their own stories.
Expressive Arts and Design
- Home Corner – The 3 bears, using different sized cups, spoons, bowls etc…
- Role play – A Police Station, to solve the crime –Who broke the bridge?
- Making masks to support their role play
- The children may bring in something related to our stories for Show and Tell on Friday.
- This week can you send your child in with a photo of them with their family or friends so we can discuss who is important to them.
- Please make sure your child has a spare change of clothes in school just in case they have any little accidents. The spare change of clothes does not have to be school uniform.
