  • The Enormous Turnip and The Platinum Jubilee

    Published 26/05/22

    In Reception this week we have been looking at the Enormous Turnip and performing to the class. The children have enjoyed adapting the story with their own vegetables and fruit. The story was great for comparing the sizes of different objects and characters. Over the last couple of days we have been in preparation for our Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We have been making crowns (lots of glitter and stickers!) and drawing a portrait of the Queen in our brand new Sheen Mount sketch books. Dressing up has been fun and the food at the picnic was tasty!

  • Goldilocks and the Three Bears

    Published 19/05/22

    This week our Traditional Tale is Goldilocks and the Three Bears and we have been retelling the story using puppets, songs and some very good expression! We also built chairs to replace Baby Bear's broken chair, and tested them out with bears in class. The story has helped with our phonics as we are now learning new endings to words, such as 'softest', 'hardest', 'jumping' and 'running'. Outside, we decided the weather was good enough to move our amazing sunflower seedlings into the growing area and we are now thinking about ways to keep them safe from all the animals that also like to use our playground! So far, we are hoping the net and the scarecrows will work. Wish us luck!

  • Traditional Tales and growing

    Published 13/05/22

    ​We are continuing to look at Traditional Tales as our topic in reception. The children have been looking at the Gingerbread Man and The Three Little Pigs. Everyone has loved learning all of the different stories and re-telling them with the finger puppets we have been making. We all made some fantastic houses and Mr Brooks (The Big Bad Wolf) took great pleasure when he came over to try and knock them all down with his leaf blower, the children found this very exciting. The children have been very interested in planting and they are starting to see the sunflowers creep out from the soil.
