🌟 Little Red Hen Adventures and Blockzilla’s Big Appetite! 🌟
We’ve had another fun-filled day in Reception E! Today, we continued strengthening our phonics knowledge, added another page to our very own Little Red Hen storybooks and revisited some important mathematical symbols with a little help from our friends the Numberblocks! 😊🌈
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS today, we continued reviewing our previously learned sounds, including both single-letter sounds and digraphs. We also revisited our tricky words, practising recognising and reading these important words. 📖🌟
Regular revision helps strengthen the children’s phonics knowledge, developing their sound recognition and building confidence with early reading. These familiar sounds and words form an important foundation as we continue working towards more independent reading and writing. ✏💛
🍎 English PBL – The Little Red Hen: Next!
Today, our little authors continued creating their very own Little Red Hen storybooks! 🐔🌾
After introducing our characters yesterday, we moved on to the second page – Next, where the Little Red Hen begins her adventure by planting wheat in her garden.
The children practised writing the sentence “Hen plants the wheat” before drawing an illustration of the Little Red Hen in her garden alongside the wheat she had planted. ✏🎨
By completing one page each day, the children are learning how stories develop in a logical sequence, while also practising their handwriting, vocabulary and illustration skills. We’re looking forward to continuing our story tomorrow as we reach the middle! 📖🌟
🔢 Logical Exploration – Blockzilla is Back!
In Logical Exploration, we welcomed back a familiar Numberblocks character, Blockzilla, to help us review our mathematical comparison symbols: greater than ( > ), less than ( < ) and equal to ( = )! 🌟
Just like in the cartoon, we used a special Blockzilla balance scale, where his mouth changes shape depending on the numbers or quantities on either side. When one side is greater, his mouth opens towards the larger amount, while equal quantities are represented by the equals sign!
The children then practised writing numbers on their individual whiteboards, choosing the correct symbol to complete each comparison. ✏
This was a wonderful way to reinforce our understanding of number relationships, helping the children recognise which numbers are greater, which are smaller and when two amounts are equal. Using Blockzilla made these abstract mathematical symbols much easier to visualise and understand! 👏😊
It’s been a lovely day of storytelling, problem-solving and learning together in Reception E. We’re looking forward to continuing our adventures tomorrow!
Have a lovely evening, everyone! 💛😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹
🌟今天我们开展单元复习，一起回顾了《星星公主的长发》《天亮了》《小猫吃什么？》三本绘本，重点巩固绘本里出现的高频词和关键词。课堂上老师欣喜地看到，宝贝们能够流畅、清晰地朗读绘本，阅读状态十分出色。
🌟同时老师也发现一个共性的小特点：很多孩子放在句子里可以认出字词，可单独拿出来认读时就会有些生疏。为此老师设计了“绘本寻字”小游戏，让孩子们在熟悉的故事文本里寻找目标字词，在趣味探索中，加深对本单元高频重点字词的印象。
今天我们还重温了本单元的故事、散文诗与绘本内容。宝贝们可以熟练背诵古诗《山行》，理解成语“杯弓蛇影”的含义，也能读懂《我家是动物园》里巧妙的比喻手法，感受文学表达的趣味。
✨今日亲子小任务：
大家可以拿出《星星公主的长发》《天亮了》《小猫吃什么？》这三本绘本，和宝贝一起认读图中的重点字词。
中班阶段正是识字积累的黄金时期，小朋友们已经有了不错的基础，坚持陪伴练习，相信宝贝们会越来越棒！一起加油💪
