🌟 Super Sentences and Describing the Three Little Pigs! 🌟
We’ve had another lovely day of learning in Reception E! Today, we took an exciting step forward with our writing skills in ESS before continuing our exploration of The Three Little Pigs in English PBL. From building sentences to describing familiar characters, it’s been a day full of language learning! 😊🌈
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS) – Let’s Write Sentences!
In ESS today, we began by reviewing our previously learned sounds, with a particular focus on our newest digraph, /ai/. We then explored some familiar and new vocabulary containing this sound: rain, pail, quail, mail, nail and sail. 📖🌟
Next, we took on an exciting new challenge: writing our own sentences! ✏
Using sentence starters such as “I see a…”, “There is a…” and “I have a…”, the children practised choosing words from our /ai/ vocabulary and using them to construct simple sentences.
This was the first time we’ve attempted an activity like this, and some children understandably found it quite challenging! Writing sentences requires us to bring together several skills, including recognising sounds, spelling words, understanding sentence structure and handwriting.
Although it wasn’t easy for everyone, this was an important first step towards more independent writing. With regular opportunities to practise, the children will gradually become more confident in expressing their own ideas through sentences. 💛👏
🍎 English PBL – The Three Little Pigs: Describing Characters and Settings!
In English PBL today, we continued exploring our Unit 2 story, The Three Little Pigs! 🐷🏠
We began by revisiting the characters and settings we introduced earlier this week, recalling the three little pigs, the Big Bad Wolf and the different houses made from straw, sticks and bricks.
We then introduced some describing words (adjectives) to help us talk about the characters and their houses in more detail. 🌟
Our vocabulary included lazy, smart, patient, hungry, strong, fast and weak. We explored how these words can help us explain what characters are like and describe the different qualities of their houses.
This was a valuable opportunity to develop the children’s English vocabulary and understanding of how describing words make our language more interesting and informative. 📚
In our upcoming lessons, we’ll build on today’s learning by using these adjectives to construct sentences describing the characters and settings in our story, bringing together our storytelling and sentence-writing skills! ✏😊
It’s been a lovely day of learning, with some exciting challenges as we begin moving from reading and writing individual words towards creating complete sentences. We’re looking forward to seeing the children’s confidence grow as we continue practising these important skills!
Have a lovely evening, everyone! 💛😊✨
各位家长朋友：大家好
🌟今天我们继续探索3D立体图形。课堂伊始，我们先巩固了上节课所学的正方体、长方体知识点，回顾核心特征：两种立体图形都拥有6个面；正方体六个面均为正方形，长方体则以长方形面为主。
🌟🌟本节课我们以玩中学、做中悟的方式，循序渐进开展探索：从自由操作搭建、图形辨认，到有目的触摸感知，层层递进帮助孩子建立立体空间概念。
老师在数学区投放了圆柱体、圆锥体、球体三种全新立体教具。小朋友们滚动、观察的趣味体验中，大胆表达自己的直观感受：
• 圆柱体可以前后自由滚动，多次尝试发现圆柱的滚动具有固定方向，感悟到爸爸妈妈开的汽车轮胎是圆柱体。
• 球体咕噜灵活，能够向四面八方随意滚动，不受方向限制；
• 圆锥体则是围绕顶点滴溜溜旋转滚动，轨迹独特、十分有趣。
通过亲手操作、亲身实验，小朋友们真切感知三种立体图形的外形差异与滚动特点。在对比探索中，小朋友们能总结出关键知识点：球体没有平面，所以能够全方位自由滚动；圆柱体有两个面，是圆形；圆锥有一个圆形的面还有一个顶点。
🌟🌟🌟课堂最后我们开展了魔法袋摸图形趣味小游戏。孩子们凭触感辨别立体形体，进一步巩固图形特征。整个活动中，宝贝们积极参与、敢于表达、乐于分享，还主动交流生活中见过的圆柱体、圆锥体实物。
小朋友们在沉浸式探索中，慢慢建立起清晰的立体思维，观察力、表达力、专注力都有非常亮眼的表现，非常棒👍
