Reception Parents Reading Workshop

A big thank you to all the parents that attended the recent workshop, where we discussed ways of helping reception age children develop as readers at home. It was lovely to see the excitement on the children’s faces as their parents joined them in class to have a special reading time together!

Mr Wolf’s Pancakes

The nursery children have been enjoying the story ‘Mr Wolf’s Pancakes.’

The children recognised lots of familiar characters in the story from our Fairy tales topic and learnt some new character’s such as Wee Willie Winkie and Chicken Licken.

We learnt a new rhyme.

Listen to the rhyme at home. Can you remember the words?

We made shopping lists for the correct ingredients to make pancakes. Can you remember what we needed to make the batter?

We played shops and counted our money.
We made lists
Yummy!
Using Cutlery
Spread
Squeeze the lemon!
Flip the pancakes!

Nursery – We’re going on a Bear Hunt

The nursery have been enjoying the Bear Hunt story and have been immersed in lots of new language.

Here is some of the learning in action.

We experienced ‘Thick oozy mud!’
‘Squelch, squerch!’
We counted 2 furry ears, 2 goggly eyes…
1 shiny wet nose.
It’s a bear!
We made long wavy grass and practiced our scissor skills.
We did some ‘swirling and whirling.’

Tomorrow we are going on a bear hunt around the school. I wonder how many bears we will find?

Listen to the story at home. Can your child join in with the repeated parts of the story?

4A Love the library! 📚

This morning, we got to visit the new Catford Library. We had a lovely morning. We had two stories read to us, were able to browse all the books available and were even able to check some out some books to borrow (but it’s important to remember these books need to stay in school, sorry). We’re really looking forward to a return visit after half term.
