🌟 Another Great Day in Reception E! 🌟
We’ve had another lovely day of learning in Reception E, with lots of phonics, writing and some exciting mathematical discoveries as we explored odd and even numbers! 😊💛
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS, we continued our work on the /ng/ digraph, building on what we learned yesterday. 🔡✏
We began by practising writing words containing the /ng/ sound and matching them to their corresponding pictures. This helped the children strengthen their vocabulary recognition while practising their handwriting and spelling skills. 📖👏
We then challenged the children to work a little more independently! They chose an /ng/ word, drew a picture to represent it, and then had a go at writing the word themselves. 🎨✏ It was lovely to see the children using their phonics knowledge creatively and growing in confidence with their independent writing. 🌟
🔢 Logical Exploration – Odd and Even Numbers
In Logical Exploration, we introduced the children to odd and even numbers with the help of some colourful building blocks! 🧱🔢
We discovered that when we stack blocks two blocks wide, we can see an interesting pattern:
💚 Even numbers can be made entirely from pairs of two blocks, creating a nice, even top with no blocks left over.
💛 Odd numbers can also be built using pairs of two, but they always have one extra odd block sticking up at the top!
By building and looking at these different arrangements, the children could clearly see the difference between odd and even numbers. It was a fun, visual way to explore a new mathematical concept! 👀✨
We then put our new knowledge into practice by completing an activity where the children identified odd and even numbers from 1 to 20. ✏🔢 They did a fantastic job applying what they had learned!
🌈 A Lovely Day of Learning!
It’s been another great day in Reception E, and we’re very pleased with the children’s enthusiasm and growing confidence as they tackle new challenges in both phonics and maths. 💛👏
Have a wonderful evening, everyone! 😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹
🌟今天我们带领孩子们重温经典绘本《我家是动物园》，深度品读故事内容，重点学习绘本中优美的比喻句式：“XX是XX，其实呢……因为……”。
课堂上，老师带领小朋友们初步理解比喻手法的核心含义：将一种事物比作另一种相似的事物。同时引导孩子发现，比喻需要抓住两者之间的相似点，可以是外形样貌、动作姿态、生活习惯、兴趣爱好、性格特点，也可以是声音特征等。孩子们认真倾听、积极思考，在句式练习中慢慢掌握了比喻表达的小技巧。
本次活动中，孩子们迸发了许多童真又独特的精彩金句，每一句都源自孩子最纯粹、最灵动的视角，充满想象力与创造力，非常珍贵。老师已逐一记录下孩子们的精彩发言，整理成专属记录单，分享给各位家长。也建议大家在日常亲子交流中，多多鼓励孩子运用这类句式大胆表达，持续丰富孩子的语言积累，提升逻辑表达与语言创编能力。
课堂最后，我们进行了趣味语言拓展活动——创编谜语。我们发现，谜语的谜面正是利用比喻的手法，抓住事物的典型特征进行描述。在集体思考、共同讨论、互相补充的过程中，孩子们合作创编出两个完整又生动的谜语：
1. 头上戴红冠，身披五彩衣，每到天亮时，大叫人们起。
2. 耳朵像扇子，身子像小山，鼻子长又长，能洗澡和洗车子。
孩子们对“编谜语、猜谜语”的游戏兴趣浓厚，沉浸式感受了语言表达的乐趣✨
📌 亲子趣味小任务推荐
家长可以在家准备常见的物品、动物图片，让孩子随机抽取素材，尝试抓住事物特征、运用比喻的方式创编谜语，让爸爸妈妈来猜。
这项趣味小游戏，既能锻炼孩子的观察力、认知力，又能极大提升孩子的语言组织、即兴表达和想象力，让孩子在轻松的游戏中玩转语言、收获成长！
