I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended our COL yesterday! The children were super excited to share their learning from the stories they had explored across all 3 case studies. The children showcased their work beautifully teaching the adults how to sing and sign ‘Goldilocks and the 3 bears!’ The children presented books to our day care early years settings and to Jenny from Thorne library. We are so proud of how much money the children have raised to buy books for children to enjoy and to share their learning with the wider world. The money will also support the development of new reading areas and our expeditionary curriculum! Thank you to all adults who kindly donated to help the children raise a whopping £1800 pounds!

The children enjoyed time in their classrooms with their adults taking part in many of our learning activities from this term. Here are some of our snapshots.

This week the children in reception have been retelling and reading the narrative of The Gingerbead Man! The children took part in a gallery walk looking at pictures from the story. The children worked with their partner to recall the events in of the story thinking specifically about what was happening in the picture. The children then were challenged to read the narrative in the speech bubbles and also the red words!

Here is a link to the story and the red words we know so far. I wonder if you can retell the story at home?

Goldilocks and the three bears!

The reception children have begun exploring their question of case study 2. Why does Goldilocks need to say sorry? Here we are exploring the story. Writing ‘ch’ for chair, exploring size and number in the porridge tray and making a setting using materials!
