🌟 Welcome Back, Reception E! 🌟
It has been wonderful to welcome everyone back after our National Holiday break! We’ve had a fantastic first day back, with lots of phonics practice, exciting class pet adventures and some brilliant Show & Tell presentations! 😊💛
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS, we continued our work on the /ch/ digraph. We began by reviewing the sounds we have learned so far before focusing on a variety of words containing our /ch/ sound. 🔡🐥
The children then completed some phonics activities to practise their handwriting, vocabulary recognition and ability to match /ch/ words to their corresponding pictures. ✏📖 It was lovely to see everyone getting back into their learning after the holiday, and the children did a fantastic job remembering what we had practised before the break! 👏✨
🐸🦅🐢 Class Pet Presentations
Our class pets have returned from their National Holiday adventures, and it certainly sounds like they’ve been busy! 🎉
Today, Luna, Eli and Harvey shared their experiences of looking after Freddo, Eddie and Tina over the holiday. The children did a wonderful job presenting their adventures to the class, and it looked like our three little friends had a fantastic holiday too! 📸💛
Our class pets are now off on their next adventures:
🐸 Freddo is going home with Youning
🦅 Eddie is going home with Elsa
🐢 Tina is going home with Audrey
We can’t wait to hear what they get up to next! 😊
🍎 English PBL – Healthy Body, Healthy Mind Show & Tell
This afternoon, we had our first topic-based Show & Tell presentations for Unit 1: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind! 🍎💪📚
Four of our children bravely stood in front of their friends to share what they had prepared:
🍄 Berry taught us all about mushrooms, sharing some interesting information about these fascinating foods!
🍔 Aron explained the differences between healthy foods and junk foods, helping us think about the choices we make when we eat.
🍎 Aria introduced us to the different food groups and explained why we need a variety of foods to enjoy a healthy, balanced diet.
🥕 Audrey shared her knowledge of different vegetables, teaching us more about the foods that help keep our bodies healthy.
All four children did an absolutely fantastic job! 🌟👏 Standing in front of the class and sharing information with our friends is an important skill, and it was wonderful to see everyone giving it their best effort. What a brilliant start to our Show & Tell presentations this year! 💛
🚌 Reminder – Bon Voyage School Trip Tomorrow!
Tomorrow we will be heading out for our exciting Bon Voyage school trip! 🎒🚌 We’re looking forward to a wonderful day out together!
Please make sure your child comes to school wearing their school uniform tomorrow. 👕🏫
It’s been a lovely first day back in Reception E, and we’re looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow!
Have a wonderful evening, everyone! 💛😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹
今天我们绘本阅读活动——《我家是动物园》。这是一本充满想象力、幽默又温暖的绘本，故事里小男孩祥太把自己的家想象成一座动物园，家里的每一位亲人都变成了有趣的小动物。
课堂上，孩子们跟着绘本大胆观察、联想：祥太是调皮的小猴子，爸爸是威严的大狮子，妈妈是温柔的浣熊，爷爷像长颈鹿，奶奶像兔子……我们一起讨论家人的外形、性格和习惯，感受“像小动物一样”的奇妙比喻。
在互动环节，宝贝们纷纷开动脑筋，学着祥太的句式进行表达：“这是我的XX，其实呢，他是一只……”。不少小朋友能结合家人的特点大胆创编句子，语言表达、想象力都得到了锻炼。
活动中我们引导孩子体会：每个家人都有独一无二的特点，家人之间充满爱。
温馨提示：
明天我们外出活动，小朋友们都非常期待。邀请爸爸妈妈为宝贝们做好以下准备：
1、校服，如下图，短袖+外套
2、书包清空，然后装好水杯，还有一点点健康小零食（宝贝们期待郊游中的小野餐）午餐学校准备，聪明的小朋友同意明天不带玩具、玩偶。
3:明天所有小朋友8:45到校，我们9:00准时出发，今晚安排小朋友早一些些睡觉哦。
