Phase 1 celebrated One World Day this week and listened to a story from ‘This Is Our World’ by Asa Gilland and Tracey Turner. We looked at two contrasting places and the lives of the children who live in Norway and the Sahara Desert. We all joined in with a song ‘We’ve Got the Whole World in Our Hands’ and discussed how we must look after it and each other.
On World Book Day, Reception loved finding out about Nathan Byron, the author of this week’s book, Clean Up. We were inspired to find out about his other books and looked at similarities between the books he had written.
This week in Reception we read Shark in the Park. This inspired us to design our own parks. We drew a map of it and wrote in the key to label what exciting things we had designed. Have a look!
Reception have loved learning about the traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood. We have acted out the story in our classrooms and made characters from the story. We were so excited to go on our first trip together to the REP theatre to see it performed!
Mrs Sheahan and Ms Cullen would like to thank the adults that were able to attend the phonics workshop this week. We showed parents how we delivered the Little Wandle phonics program and how we develop all the reading skills our children use to become successful readers. We finished our sessions with the message that ALL reading is good for us, grab a book, get comfy, and lose yourselves in book as often as you possibly can.
