We have been working extremely hard on our phonics since the start of the year, and so that we are practising as much as we can, we have been using the iPads as additional tuition during our provision time. We have really enjoyed learning with Fred and letting him hear how good we are getting at recognising sounds and getting speedier. Some of us even used the whiteboards on the table to practise our letter formation! We know that the more we practise, the better we will become!
Today we created our own baskets to take to Grandma some treats 🍰🧁 We loved making our baskets and discussing the traditional tale – Little Red Riding Hood. We kept our eyes out for the mischievous wolf 🐺 We thought about how Little Red Riding Hood moved through the forest and how her facial expressions changed when she spotted the wolf 🐺 We all looked after our buns and didn’t eat them until the end!
Today we started looking at our new English text, Little Red Riding Hood. We talked about the book and I was impressed by how many children could recall the story. After we read our book we made baskets and skipped around school just like Little Red Riding Hood skipped through the forest. All the treats made it safely back to class and thankfully we didn’t meet a wolf (this time!).
This morning in reading, Crew Thompson used text marking to help unpick the text. We started new pages this week so it was really important to get a good understanding of the text and what the key words meant. In our next book talk lesson, we will use our text marking to help create a class glossary of these key words. This will really help us in our demonstration lesson later on in the week.
Today we created our own baskets to take to Grandma who was feeling poorly at the other side of the woods. We loved making our baskets and discussing the traditional tale – Little Red Riding Hood. We all looked after our buns and didn’t eat them until the end!
During Book talk this week we listened to miss model her fluent reading. We critiqued her and adopted her reading skills. We explored ‘The problems of deforestation’ and answered questions together thinking out loud using our reading skills.
For our experience lesson today we ventured into the woods. Just like Vlad and Boxton, we escaped the fire and found shelter. We talked about where was the best place to make a shelter and how the people running away from the fire would have been feeling.
We loved having grown ups in yesterday for our story time session! We had lots of fun sharing stories with you 📚
Rosie and Rupert have loved joining the children of Crew Robson and listening to some different stories. Thank you to everyone who has shared photos. I love seeing at them 🥰
What a lovely start to the day! This morning I had the pleasure of having my breakfast with the Carcroft Star Readers. It was lovely listening to the children share why they had been chosen as their Crews Star Reader and I could sense just how proud they all were 👏 I also got the opportunity to listen to the children talk about how they celebrated Roald Dahl day in their crews yesterday, it sounded like they had lots of fun! Especially in Crew MI where they got to watch people eating worms 🪱 I’m guessing it was The Twits ‘Wormy spaghetti’ or as Mrs Twit calls it ‘Squiggly Spaghetti’! 🤣 Well done Star Readers! 👏
