We’ve had a great start to our trip, even though it seems that we have brought the rain with us! Despite the drizzle we all went on a nature trail around the grounds, looking at different habitats and the animals we may see there. When in the bird hide, we spotted a coot and ducks, even some very large dragonflies.
Later we dissected owl pellets and found a variety of bones and skulls! We have also learnt to weave and everyone has started a very successful project!
The rain looks like it might be sticking around tomorrow, but that isn’t going to stop us making the most of our trip!
We are excited to send you our maths learning cafe today. To start with there is a short (ish!) power point, in 3 parts, for the grown ups to hopefully explain a little bit about how we teach maths in Reception. Then the rest of it is for you to do together with your child. We appreciate that it can be hard to find the time so we will give you until after half term to have a look and have a go at some of the activities. Mrs Hooker our Learning Cafe Lead has a prize for one family in each class. Everyone who posts something on Tapestry about the learning cafe and what you have done at home, will get entered into the prize draw. Then a name will be picked at random after half term.
Here are the things you can do…
Adults – watch the information video
Children and adults – Listen to their teacher read the story, Pete the cat and his four groovy buttons
Watch the video on You Tube of someone reading the story (link below)
Watch an episode of Number Blocks (link below)
Watch the video of your teacher explaining the activities you can do following on from listening to the story.
In your child’s book bag you will find two sheets, one with 4 buttons on it and one with numbers and buttons on it. The activity video will explain what to do with them both.
We hope you have fun taking part in the Learning Cafe and we can’t wait to see some pictures on Tapestry.
Over the last few weeks all the children in Year 6 have been busy creating their leaver’s video; a signed version of Reach. With the support and guidance of Jenny Skivington the children learnt to sign the song, create their own props and plan their locations to film. It has been a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.
