Play the double dice game with one dice. E.g Roll 5 double is 10.

The children need to say what is double that number.

They then draw the corresponding part of the rocket. It’s a bit like beetle drive.

Problem solving.

Children then can explore Half of a number.

There are two rockets’ 10/20 children.

The number of children can change depends on the child’s ability.

Try an odd number does it work? Do the rockets have the same number?

We can't believe that our second to last week has crept up on us so fast! We have had another jam packed week where each bubble has learnt about a different country. The Red Dragons have learnt about Spain, the Blue Whales have learnt about France and the Yellow Superstars have learnt about Italy. Today, each bubble shared what they have learnt by giving the other bubbles a presentation!

We also managed to squeeze in sports day!

Here are a few pictures to show you what the bubbles have been doing ...

We all hope you have a restful weekend, ready for the last week!

What a wet but wonderful week we have had in school! We have been looking at the book Giraffes Can't Dance and Tanka Tanka Skunk! We have made lots of different giraffe crafts, written our own giraffe stories and made musical instruments to create our own version of Tanka Tanka Skunk! We then braved the rain and performed our compositions to the other bubbles, socially distancing of course!

I think we all need a rest after all of the exciting activities the bubbles have been up to, here are just a few pictures from the week ...

Have a lovely weekend, I hope the weather improves!

Good morning everyone - It's Mr. H. again! Can you believe it is time for transition Tuesdays again?

First things first, I hope everybody is doing well and are staying safe.

I am currently writing this at home after taking Luna and Brego out for a walk and I got soaked wet!

Here is a small task for you to have a go at! Can you take on my number and alphabet challenges?

You get three minutes to write your numbers to 20 and try to get them all the right way around.

The same applies to the alphabet challenge, how many letters can you complete in three minutes whilst remembering to keep them the right way around?

Here are some photos for you!

This one is of Luna and Brego having a cuddle last week in the sun! Awww...

And this one is of Brego hiding his face behind his Christmas sloth toy!

White Rose

Warm up

Look at 2D and 3D shapes.

Look at a clock count round the numbers in order. What number does it start on? And finish on? Which number is at the bottom , top, left, right?

Look at the positions of the numbers.

Can the children work out what time we come to school? Lunch time? Home time? Bed time? May draw some pictures to help with the understanding of the passing of time. We use a time table in school. Children will focus on what is important to them. Lunch TIME!

The hands on a clock turn forward and never backwards except for in Autumn.

Children make their own clock face adding the numbers and the hands.

They then complete some o’clock ‘s.

Play what time is it Mr Wolf.

TOPIC

Explain to the class that they are going to listen to a story about a giraffe named Gerald, who gets teased because he is clumsy and unable to dance like the other animals. However, Gerald meets a special friend who helps him. Ask the children if someone has ever helped them learn how to do something new. How did they feel when they could not do what everyone else was doing? How did they feel once they learned how to do it? What did Gerald have to do in order to become a dancer? Is it important that everyone is able to do the same thing well? Ask the class why they think the author wrote this story. What did he want children to learn from Gerald's experience?

Children tell you things they are good or that they find tricky …. My super powers…

Make a spinning plate of Gerald. You will need 2 paper plates and a split pin.

Giraffe's Can't Dance Art project for Kids

PSHCE

Look at the word can’t.

Why do people say it?

If we sometimes try really really hard we can do things we didn’t believe we could.

Swim? Ride a bike? Read? What else.

I can't believe that another week has flown by already! We have been very busy learning about different animals like reptiles, mammals and birds, and even sneaked in a 'school trip' to our woodland area. Look at the post below to find out more about our trip!

Here are some photos from this week in our bubbles ...

Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully the sun will keep shining for us!

Our Trip!

admin on: Reception

This week we were meant to be going on our school trip to Butterfly World, so we brought Butterfly World to us!

Our wonderful key workers and the children in Reception created some beautiful animals across the week, then our brilliant team hid them in the woodland for the Reception children to find!

There were peacocks, crocodiles and even sloths to name just a few!

The children then gave socially distanced talks to the other bubbles about the animals they had been learning about throughout the week. The Red Dragons talked about reptiles, the Blue Whales talked about mammals and the Yellow Superstars talked about birds.

Both ourselves and the children had a brilliant time! Thank you to everyone who helped make it so special!

Good Morning!

Transition Tuesdays!

A quick hello from year one!

Mr. H. here! I hope you are all well!
I just thought I would hop on to Mrs. Oddy's blog to say a big hello to you all and tell you how much I am looking forward to seeing you all in year one after the summer break.

You guys won't know this but during lockdown, I was lucky enough to get a puppy! Now I love dogs, so getting a new pup is very exciting for me! I thought I would share a couple of photos on here for you to see! I have two dogs, Luna, the triclour Rough Collie is three years old and Brego, the blue merle Smooth Collie, who is now sixteen weeks old. In the first photo below he was only eight weeks old!

Look how much he has grown in 8 weeks!

Divide animals into 3 groups.

Reptiles/amphibians – e.g snakes, lizards, tortoise.

Birds- e.g hens, flamingos, vultures, owls

Mammals with/ without fur. e.g Monkeys, whales, goats, chipmunks,

Talk about their features which make them different to the others. Birds have feather and most of them can fly.

Reptiles have scales and are cold blooded so need to warm up using the sun. They hatch from eggs. E.g snakes.

Mammals feed their own babies with milk and they look like themselves, some have fur.

What a first, full week back! All the children have been so enthusastic about the activities we have been doing in school. We have spent the week looking at the book Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis. We have done a range of different activities such as describing Bog Baby, making our own Bog Baby out of clay and natural materials and making a pond to put Bog Baby in!

Here are some photos from the week ...

We have also created a piece of work collaboratively. My bubble created the pond, Mrs Hemingway's bubble created the cherry blossom and Mrs Coopers and Mrs Oddy's bubble created the bluebells. It isn't quite finished yet but here it is so far. What wonderful artists the children are!

Have a lovely weekend and see you all again on Monday!

Mind-mapping and information writing

What would someone need to know if they were ever lucky enough to find a bog baby? Using shared writing make a mind-map together of all the things that the children already know about bog babies sorting them by categories such as what he is like, what he eats, where he lives. Children go on to write information booklets about bog babies and send them to the address at the back of the book.

Use sheet to write down what a Bog Baby might need

Wow! What a week! On behalf of the Reception team, I would like to say how brilliant the first three days have been. All of the children have been amazing and settled back into school wonderfully! We have all had lots of fun doing different activities including going out in the woodland (when it wasn't raining!). On a Friday, I will be doing a gallery of photos for each bubble, showing you what we have been up to during the week. Here we go ...

Here is what my bubble, The Yellow Superstars, have been up to ...

Here is what Mrs Hemingway's bubble, The Blue Whales, have been up to ...

TOPIC Bog Baby

Read the book without showing the picture on the front of the book up to the point where the children in the story first find the bog baby. Pause to talk with your child about what they think the bog baby might look like. Suggest they listen hard to the next two or three pages and paint a picture in their mind’s eye.

Bog Baby Book

Then carry on reading but without showing the illustration to the point where they take him home and hide him in the shed.

Ask children to share their ideas of how they think the bog baby might look. Suggest they create one of their own using clay/play dough or just natural materials outside or insert them in to clay to make bog babies.

When they have finished ask them to introduce their bog babies to a friend.

What is he like? What does he like to do or eat? Does he make a noise?

Using digital cameras/phone each child should take a photograph of their own Bog baby and write a caption to accompany it.

If time they can draw their Bog Baby.

Thank-you
