The 3 Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf

We are thrilled that the children have had such a lovely break and they all came in enthusiastic and ready to learn.

Which is a good job really, as our first week back after the Easter holidays has been actioned packed. This week our core text has been The Three Little Pigs And The Big Bad Wolf.

The children were asked to write a letter to the 3 pigs on behalf of the wolf apologising for his behaviour. IMG_2274IMG_2275

Another task the children completed was a whole class story map. They all added a drawing to the story map from a part of the story and added a caption or a speech bubble. The children had to work out if they picture went at the beginning, middle or end of the story.

Here is the completed story map;

In maths we have been learning to take away on a number line. The children are beginning to grasp this concept, but practicing this skill at home will really be beneficial.

Next week we will start to begin a very slow but smooth transition into the Year 1 routine. Your child has been sent home with a letter explaining this. Please read it through so you are aware of what is happening. If you have any questions about the transition process, please do not hesitate to ask one of the reception team.

Have a lovely weekend.

Stick Man Maths

Willow 1 and 2 have been learning how to compare objects in terms of their size.
 
The children collected sticks to make a ‘Stick Family’ linked to our core text ‘Stick Man’.
They ordered the sticks from tallest to shortest and explained the position of all of their sticks.  
 
Here are a few photos:
