Sophia's Learning Challenge

Sophia completed her Learning Challenge again.  She has demonstrated great resilience by completing each of the the challenges in the Nursery and now the first one in Reception.  

This Term the Learning Challenge was as follows:

      Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.

      The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, famous person, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.

       Poem/Song to learn: Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer

      Five little Men in a flying saucer.                                                                  Person: Mr Maker

      Flew around the world one day,

They looked left and right,

But they didn’t like the sight,

So one man flew away.

Sophia used the guidance outlined above and learned the words to the song and also created various models and pieces of art to represent the song.  She had made an amazing interactive flying saucer with the aliens in, which were numbered and as we sang the song together she removed them from the flying saucer talking about 1 less.  Sophia took great delight in her interactive model and said "I need to take away number 5" as she searched for it.
