This week’s line of inquiry has been “What foods are good for you?’. We started the week listening attentively to the story ‘Supertato’ and this has been our Talk through Stories throughout the week. We have discussed how exercise makes us feel and could name the following as things which are good for our health; exercise, sleep, washing hands, brushing teeth, personal hygiene and eating healthy. As a class we made a list of foods that are good for us. Our list included a variation of foods from the different food groups. Our learning activities have included; writing a caption to match the Supertato picture, making a shopping list of different vegetables, creating a repeating pattern printing with a potato, making our very own Supertato, using tweezers to separate the pasta and pea and making a healthy food plate! On Tuesday we received a call from the Evil Pea who informed us that they might come and pay us a visit! Since then we have been busy writing plans on how we might stop the Evil Pea from playing tricks on us – so far we have not seen him! We have a Reception author in Team EO who confidently read her story to her friends at story time on Thursday! Look at this amazing writing - what a superstar! As part of our Talk through Stories learning we have; identified the characters and main characters, learnt about unfamiliar words, learnt favourite phrases, used freeze-frame feelings and joined in with favourite phrases on the fourth read! In Literacy, Year 1’s have finished their short burst narrative. We have continued to access handwriting to ensure letters are formed correctly and we have been practising reading lots of different words using ‘special friends, Fred talk, read the word’. In Maths, Reception children have made and described double facts on their fingers, represented the composition of 5 on die frames, explored the commutativity of addition facts, used rekenreks to explore and represent ‘5 and a bit’ numbers to 10 and used 10-frames to explore ‘5 and a bit’ numbers to 10. Year 1 children started the week identifying the quantity shown in a representation of numbers 11-19, used knowledge of ’10 and a bit’, explored odd and even numbers within 20 and doubled the numbers, halved the result and explained what doubling and halving is! In Science, we have learnt about the 7 life processes using the acronym MRS NERG – movement, respiration, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, reproduction and growth. Can your child remember the definition of each of these terms? In PE, we warmed up with ‘row the boat’. We had to form a line and sit behind each other holding onto each other’s waist and rocked back and forth 10 times, then the friend at the back moved to the front and this continued until our first friend was back at the front. For our main teach, we practised different exercises such as; the plank, front support, back support, beanbag drag, sit-ups and leg raises!
