Reception Learning 02.02.24

 

Reminders and key dates: 

• Tuesday 6th February: Stay and Learn session (9am) 
• Friday 16th February: End of Spring 1 

Reading at home

Just a reminder that it expected that all children read at home at least 5 times a week. Please ensure your child is reading 5 times and you are signing the reading record to evidence this. These can be school books, library books or any books you have at home! Thank you!

Bags

Please could we ask that you do not send your child in with any other bag unless it is a packed lunch or it is their reading day. We have limited space for coat and bag storage and many items are becoming lost / damaged due to the high volume of bags. Thank you!

Topic:

The Gingerbread Man

We read the book and encouraged the children to join in with repeated refrains and talk about the story characters and events. We discussed the ways in which the characters tried to catch the Gingerbread Man and talked about how that might have made the Gingerbread Man feel. We also looked at real gingerbread man biscuits, buttons, root ginger and ground ginger. We used our senses to touch, feel and smell the objects.

We also made and decorated our own gingerbread man biscuits.

Take a look at all of the fun activities the children completed this week:
