🌟 A Great Start to the Week! 🌟
Welcome back, Reception E! We hope everyone had a lovely weekend. We’ve had a fantastic start to the week, with a new phonics sound and some exciting hands-on learning as we continued exploring the story of The Little Red Hen! 😊💛
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS, we introduced our newest digraph, /ng/! 🔡🎵
We learned the /ng/ sound, its corresponding action, and explored some new vocabulary containing our focus sound. The children enjoyed practising the sound and learning how the two letters work together to make one sound. 👏✨
We then read a fun story all about finding a lost ring! 💍📖 The story gave us a lovely opportunity to hear and recognise our new /ng/ sound in context, helping the children make connections between the sounds we learn and the words we read.
🌾 English PBL – Grinding Wheat with The Little Red Hen
In English PBL, we continued our work on The Little Red Hen, this time focusing on the part of the story where the hen grinds her wheat to make flour. 🐔🌾🍞
We began by looking closely at some real wheat, exploring what it looks like before it is processed. We then talked about how wheat needs to be ground down before it can be used to make bread.
It was then time for some hands-on learning! 🙌
The children used a pestle and mortar to grind down a mixture of oats and wheat cereal, just like the Little Red Hen grinding her wheat. 🌾🍞 They had lots of fun crushing and grinding the ingredients, discovering how the texture changed as the pieces became smaller and smaller.
This was a wonderful opportunity to connect our story with a real-life process, helping the children understand just how much work goes into making something as simple as a loaf of bread! 🍞💛
🍞 A Little Something to Take Home!
Today, the children have brought home some of the ground oat and wheat cereal mixture they made during our lesson!
This mixture can be eaten by adding hot milk or water and allowing it to soften and rehydrate before eating. Please make sure it has cooled to a safe temperature before serving. 😊
We hope the children enjoy sharing a little taste of today’s learning with you at home!
🌈 A Lovely Monday!
It’s been a great start to another week in Reception E. The children have worked hard, had lots of fun and really enjoyed getting involved in our practical learning today.
Have a wonderful evening, everyone! 💛😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹
今天我们开展了数学活动《探索单双数》，孩子们在动手操作中认识单双数，学习判断单双数的小秘诀。
活动从毛绒球游戏开启，我们尝试两两分配：如果物品可以两个两个分完，没有剩余，就是双数；如果分到最后会剩下一个，便是单数。随后小朋友亲生感受，利用1—10的绒球教具，两个两个配对计数，自主判断数字的单双属性。大家依次上台分享自己的发现：数出了多少，是单数还是双数。老师配合板书记录，汇总所有结果，共同揭开单双数的秘密——单数是1、3、5、7、9。双数是2、4、6、8、10。
接着我们玩了翻牌游戏：小朋友们亲眼看着我把有序的1到10的卡牌翻过去，根据我们探索规律翻出单数卡牌，双数卡牌，聪明的宝贝们发现单数和双数是ABAB间隔。
接下来我们要判断大数：在一起讨论中，有小朋友总结，数字的各位上数字是单数，这个是就是单数，数字的个位数是双数的这个数就是双数。
掌握方法后，孩子们兴致盎然，互相出题挑战，用大数考考小伙伴，满满的成就感。过程中也出现了有趣的小思考：当问到47是单数还是双数时，有宝贝认为数字4是双数，所以47就是双数。借着这个契机，我们一起讨论辨析，巩固了“判断单双数，重点看个位”的知识点。
📖亲子小游戏推荐：
在家可以玩数字闯关，宝贝出题，爸爸妈妈来判断单双数；也可以一起说一说50以内的单数、双数。新本领到手，孩子们都很乐于接受挑战。
就连户外运动时，还有小朋友围在老师身边，主动出加法题，算出结果后再分辨单双数，可爱又暖心，能真切感受到孩子们高涨的探索热情❤
