The Year R Superheroes assembled in class. Evil Pea had left messages and sneaky tricks all week but, with our super powers, super vegetables, traps and messages, it all turned out well in the end.
Inspired by the amazing achievement of Mrs Bond running the London Marathon we have been showing our stamina and perseverance in Year R. We have thought about challenges we would like to take and things we want to improve. We have enjoyed Gladiators and Batfink for our Drawing club and thought up lots of super animals with super powers. In our maths we have been learning about numbers 11-20 and how they are made of ten and ones. We have represented them using Numicon, 10 frames, dienes and part part whole. We had a great day at Paignton Zoo. We filled our time visiting as many animals as we could, reading about their habitats and seeing how endangered they were. Back in class this week we have built zoos, written about the animals and our Drawing Club focus has been Mr Benn- Zookeeper. This week we have enjoyed literacy work inspired by Wacky Races. We ended the week by holding our own 'wacky races' in the village using our scooters and bikes. We travelled from school, down the hill, along the road, over the bridge in the park, around the skate park and back up the hill to school again.
We have had a great day celebrating World Book Day. We shared our costumes during assembly, wrote about our characters and also took part in some 'hot seating' to answer questions in character role. In the afternoon we watched a live story time and draw along with author Raahat Kaduji.
Year R have thoroughly enjoyed all things 'Gingerbread'. After reading the story of The Gingerbread Man they have designed their own gingerbread characters, traps for the fox and lots of other learning with a gingerbread twist. Of course, we finished off the week by eating real gingerbread men.
The class have been very excited to start Drawing Club as part of their literacy learning. We use a different text each week to learn new vocabulary and draw our ideas each day. It's proving to be a very popular area of the classroom. Texts we have used so far are: The Three Little Pigs, Penguin (by Polly Dunbar), We're going on a lion Hunt, The Pink Panther. Year R have been embracing the cold weather to start the New Year. They have been hunting and melting ice, playing 'ice' hockey and setting up polar play areas in class.
