A busy reading cafe!
Thanks again to all parents for coming to reading cafe, it was great to see everyone reading their stories. I have logged it on the reading track as a read.
Leaving our trace in the woods … again
After reading the next part of Hansel and Gretel we learnt that Dad took them to the woods AGAIN! However, this time we dropped bread crumbs in the woods to be able to find our way back out. We saw lots of animals and felt even worse than we did the time before!
Leaving our trace in the woods..
Today we have started reading Hansel and Gretel, at the start of the story Hansel and Gretel are told by their evil step mum to go to the woods with their Dad who should leave them there. Hansel thought of a great idea of collecting stones and leaving them as a trace to find their way out of the wood.
Down in the deep, dark, woods……….
New reading text
This week, we discovered our new reading text for this half term linked to our expedition. Lots of children excited to see what happens and learn more.
The Lady of the lamp 🪔
In today’s experience lesson we read about how Florence Nightingale looked after the poorly soldiers when it got dark. We learnt she was also called the lady of the lamp as she carried a lamp around with her in the evening. In our experience lesson we all created our own lamp to be able to be just like Florence. It was a tricky cutting and sticking task but we all followed the instructions.
The Lady with the Lamp
Hide and seek experience lesson
The children played a game of hide and seek, whereby the children pretended to be Vlad the flea and hid in the hospital to make sure the adults (Florence Nightingale and the nurses) could not find them and kick them out of the new nice clean hospital. We then acted out looking after the poorly soldiers and gave them the medical care that they needed.
Searching for Vlad!
Today we played hide and seek with Vlad! To begin with the children estimated how big Vlad was and were shocked at just how small a flea actually was. They then spent time searching for Vlad and after a few clues Henry found him hiding under a table!
