🌟 Little Red Hen Adventures and Beautiful Butterflies! 🌟
We’ve had another lovely day of learning in Reception E! Today, we continued strengthening our phonics knowledge, moved one step closer to finishing our Little Red Hen storybooks and explored the wonderful world of symmetry with a colourful butterfly painting activity! 😊🌈
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS today, we continued reviewing our previously learned sounds, including both single-letter sounds and digraphs, alongside our familiar tricky words. 📖🌟
Regular revision is an important part of developing early literacy skills, helping the children strengthen their sound recognition, recall familiar vocabulary and build confidence with reading and writing. These foundations will support them as we continue introducing more challenging phonics skills! ✏💛
🍎 English PBL – The Little Red Hen: Then!
Our little authors are almost finished creating their very own Little Red Hen storybooks! 🐔🌾
Today, we completed our fourth page – Then, continuing the story as the Little Red Hen grinds her harvested wheat into flour.
The children practised writing the sentence “Hen grinds the wheat”, adding another important event to their developing stories. ✏📖
With four pages now complete, we’ve followed the Little Red Hen from planting her wheat to harvesting and grinding it. This project has been a wonderful opportunity to practise handwriting, sequencing and storytelling while helping the children understand how individual events connect to form a complete story.
Tomorrow, we’ll finish our books with the final page – Ending! 🌟
🔢 Logical Exploration – Beautiful Symmetrical Butterflies!
In Logical Exploration today, we continued exploring symmetry, revisiting what we’ve learned about lines of symmetry and discovering that some shapes have more than one! 🦋
We looked at different examples, including butterflies with one line of symmetry, rectangles with two and squares with four. The children explored how a line of symmetry divides a shape into two matching halves that would fit together perfectly if folded along the line.
We then put this idea into practice by creating our own symmetrical butterfly paintings! 🎨
The children painted colourful patterns onto one half of their butterfly before carefully folding the paper in half. When they opened it again, the wet paint had transferred onto the opposite side, creating a matching, mirror-image pattern!
This was a lovely hands-on demonstration of symmetry, allowing the children to see how matching patterns can be created across a line of symmetry while exploring colour, creativity and fine-motor control. 🦋👏
It’s been a wonderful day of writing, mathematical exploration and creativity. We’re looking forward to finishing our storybooks tomorrow and celebrating another busy week of learning!
Have a lovely evening, everyone! 💛😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹
🌟今天的PBL课程，老师和孩子们一起认识生气、伤心、恐惧、无聊、疲惫五种不同的情绪。在课堂分享中，老师家听见了孩子们视角里最真实的感受✨
👉 在宝贝们心中：
✅ 生气，常常是没能吃到想吃的美食、或是想玩的游戏没能如愿；
✅ 伤心，会因为爸爸妈妈出差、心爱的玩具损坏、好朋友暂时不愿意和自己玩耍而产生；
✅ 恐惧，大多来源于黑暗，或是自己内心害怕的小动物；
✅ 无聊，比如陪同大人外出吃饭，大人们聊着自己听不懂的话题，没有人陪伴玩耍的时候；
✅ 疲惫，很多孩子表示自己好像很少会感觉到累。
课堂上小朋友们讨论得十分热烈，大家积极思考，一同探寻适合自己的情绪疏导方式。相关作业单我想分享在群内，内容很有实操性，可以帮助孩子面对负面情绪时学会调节。
💡 推荐今晚可以开展一场轻松的家庭小会议：
爸爸妈妈和宝贝聊一聊，当大人遇到生气、难过等情绪时会如何处理，同时也认真倾听孩子，如果产生这些情绪，他们会选择什么样的办法来疏导。彼此看见、互相理解，也是很好的亲子成长时刻😊
