Happy 2026 everybody!
This half term we are reading traditional tales. These are stories that have been in society for many, many years.
This week we have been reading and learning about the story 'The Gingerbread Man'
In Literacy, we created a story map, wrote an ingredient list for making gingerbread men and innovated the story using our own ideas of what character we would write about if we were the author of the story
Lucy ' A gingerbread banana!'
Finley 'A gingerbread demogorgan'
Logan 'Gingerbread Spiderman'
Presley-Rae 'A gingerbread princess'
The children drew a picture and labelled their ideas.
They had to use their phonic knowledge and had support from the RWI sound mat to write words like 'flour', 'treacle', 'sugar' and butter for their ingredient list
In Maths we have been subitising upto number 5. This means we cannot count the spots we see, we just have to 'say what we see'!
Here, Jack Hartmann shows us what to do. We loved listening and dancing to his song!
We have also enjoyed activities linked to the Gingerbread man in the continuous provision
Our dojo winner this week is Marlie- this is her birthday week as well! Well done Marlie.
Our Star of the Week is Theo. He has made an excellent start to the new year!
Next week, we will be reading the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk'
You can watch it here to prepare for next week's learning.
We will see you all on Monday
