🌟 A Fantastic End to September! 🌟
We’ve had a very busy final day before the National Holiday, with a new phonics sound, our first class pet presentations, some interesting discoveries about our plants, and more work with The Little Red Hen! 😊💛
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
Today we introduced our new digraph, /ch/! 🐥🔡 We read a story all about chicks on the farm, learned the /ch/ sound and action, and explored some new vocabulary containing our focus sound.
The children then completed some phonics activities where they practised their pencil control, handwriting and vocabulary recognition. ✏📖 Everyone did a great job getting to know our new sound!
🐸🦅🐢 Class Pet Presentations
Today we also had our first class pet presentations of the year! 🎉
Eddie & Freddo, Bella & Eddie, and Justin & Tina shared their adventures with our class pets. It was lovely to see the wonderful time they had together, and all three children did a fantastic job standing in front of their friends and presenting their experiences. 🗣👏💛
Our class pets are now off on their next adventures:
🐸 Freddo is going home with Luna
🦅 Eddie is going home with Eli
🐢 Tina is going home with Harvey
We hope they all have an amazing holiday together, and we look forward to hearing about their adventures when we return! 📸✨
🌱 English PBL – Our Plants & The Little Red Hen
This afternoon, we checked on the plants we planted last week. Some had grown quite a lot, while others had grown only a little or hadn’t sprouted yet. 🌱
We talked about how even when things are the same in some ways, they don’t necessarily grow at the same speed. We compared this to the children themselves — two boys or girls can be the same age but still be different heights.
Everyone grows in their own way and at their own pace! 🌱📏😊
Today the children have taken their plants home, so be sure to look out for them! 💚
We also continued our work on The Little Red Hen by sequencing the process of making bread:
🌾 First, harvest the wheat.
⚙ Next, grind the wheat.
🥄 Then, mix the flour.
🍞 Finally, bake the bread.
The children carefully cut and stuck the pictures into the correct order before writing the words harvest, grind, mix and bake underneath the corresponding pictures. ✂✏ They did a fantastic job remembering the sequence!
🇨🇳 Happy National Holiday!
It’s been a fantastic day and a wonderful end to September in Reception E. We hope all of our families have a lovely, relaxing National Holiday break! 🎉💛
Enjoy your holiday, stay safe, and we’ll see everyone back at school next Thursday! 👋😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹
🌟今天的数学活动是《相邻数》。我们从小动物的房子情境入手，让孩子们初步理解“相邻”的含义；再结合自己的座位，亲身感知身边左边、右边的邻居。随后老师出示有序数字，引导宝贝直观认识相邻数。
🌟在趣味游戏中，孩子们积极动脑，发现每个数字都有自己的相邻数。有宝贝总结出：
1、一个数的相邻数，就是比它少1和比它多1的数；也有孩子想到，可以先减1、再加1。
2、还有小朋友在百数图上观察到，相邻数就在这个数字的前面和后面，3、还有小朋友想出顺着往后数一个、倒着往前数一个的办法。
每个孩子都展现出不一样的思考方式，我们尊重孩子独特的思维表达。
🎮今日亲子游戏推荐：
准备50以内的数卡，随机抽取一张，请宝贝说出这个数字的两个相邻数，轻松巩固今日所学。
📖绘本分享
本周我们共读绘本《天亮了》，假期里我们和宝贝开展温馨的亲子阅读，一起感受故事的乐趣。
💡温馨提示
假期来临，宝贝年纪尚小，外出游玩时请留意孩子的身体状态，合理规划作息。秋高气爽，气候干燥，记得提醒宝贝多补充水分。
我们RE的所有老师祝愿各位家长与小朋友，国庆快乐，平安喜乐！✨
We are thrilled to let you know that Eli has been chosen to take care of our class pet, Eddie the Eagle, this week! Eddie is a special eagle puppet who loves going on adventures and spending time with the children in our class.
Eli will bring home Eddie, along with a folder containing paper and writing frames that are in a polly pocket in the back. Throughout the week, we encourage Eli to take Eddie on fun adventures, take 3-4 photos of their activities, and write about what they did together creating a beautiful, ✨single✨, page. The writing frames and photos can be cut out and stuck onto their page of the folder. Eli can also decorate their page with stickers, pens, or anything else they’d like to make their work beautiful and unique!
Please ensure that Eddie and the folder are returned to school on ✨Wednesday✨ morning, next week, as Eli will have the opportunity to present their page to the class and share their adventures with Eddie.
This is a wonderful way to encourage creativity, storytelling, and responsibility. We can’t wait to see what Eli creates and hear all about their week with Eddie!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Eli爸爸妈妈，晚上好🌹
祝你们节日快乐啰
🌟回顾整个九月，宝贝在幼儿园收获满满，已经很好地融入集体，各类活动中都能积极参与、认真投入。
📖【分级阅读】
本月我们完整读完《星星公主的长发》，并开启新书《天亮了》。课堂上，Eli十分投入，我们尝试了趣味朗读接龙，你一句、我一句，在游戏里锻炼专注力，趣味朗读。
推荐亲子小游戏：爸爸妈妈可以打开老师分享的电子书，或是打印文本，和宝贝玩朗读接龙。
还可以一起寻找书中高频汉字：
《星星公主的长发》：公、主、头、发、她、很、用、星、有、好、看、长
《天亮了》：亮、声、叫、羊、身、马、奶、牛、猪、太、天、阳、出、来
和Eli一起在文本里找出汉字，读一读对应的句子，在阅读中识字。
🔢【数学活动】
我们认识了两位数，学习两位数大小比较，感知相邻数……
推荐亲子游戏「猜数字」：
先选用20以内数卡，宝贝抽取一张藏好，家长来猜数字；宝贝用“多了”“少了”给出提示，猜对即为获胜。熟练之后，可以逐步升级难度，换成30、40甚至更大数字的数卡。
💡温馨提示
亲子游戏的核心是陪伴，宝贝才是主角。我们放慢节奏，多给予鼓励，把重点放在孩子愉快的体验上，不要追求速度与结果哦
期待节后，我们再见✨
