We talked about the features that we needed to include (title, numbered points, pictures to illustrate what happened). 3 tasks - Instructions to make bread, instructions to plant potatoes, instructions to plant onions MAT - copy from a model/word mat/independent writing Top group - use a word mat to find the correct bossy verb. Fill in the gap. Draw pictures to illustrate each step. Middle group - cut out each step and stuck them in order. Draw pictures to illustrate each step. Bottom group - I took photos of each activity and they cut them out and glued them in order. A member of staff wrote what they said about each picture.

Subtraction for Early Years

Subtraction for Early Years

(0)
During subtraction week, we carried out 3 activities. We used the ‘Playdough Smash’ laminated sheet to make blobs of playdough up to 10. Then we used whiteboard pens to write subtraction number sentences. When children took numbers away, they smashed the playdough then counted to see how many were left. We used the purse and the 10 frame to pay for items in the shop. We started with 10p (1p in each square) the we took pennies away to find out how much we had left. We used the differentiated worksheets to cross out the objects to see how many were left.

My Reception class enjoyed the story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. We came up with our own story, and changed the words to 'We're Going on a Bug Hunt'. For our class assembly, we learnt Pie Corbett actions to retell the story. We also sang the Ugly Bug Ball song. It took us about 20-25 minutes. The parents and children loved it!

KS1 Science - Ears/Hearing Experiment

Year 1 Science - Hearing/Ears This was a part of our science topic ‘The Senses’. We completed these 3 differentiated worksheets/anticipation grids to activate prior knowledge. Half way through our topic, we completed the ‘expanding statements’ as children had a better understanding of hearing. We then completed the beaker experiement. Children predicted what the beakers would sound like when struck when they were full and empty. We had been learning about low and high pitch.
