RDW Rescue Party

RDW Rescue Party

We have enjoyed reading the story about Percy the Park Keeper called The Rescue Party, where rabbit got stuck down a well.  We sent a rescue party to our Wildlife Area to help Percy help rabbit to escape ... but she was stuck up a tree instead!  We did teamwork to decide how to rescue rabbit and worked together to get her down from the tree.  Look at what great teamwork we have been doing and how we share our ideas with one-another. 
 

We have been learning all about plants! Have a go at singing this song!

Subtract

We love joining in with this taking away song...

Can you remember the action and the sign for 'take away'? 

Percy the Park Keeper

Last week we started our new topic 'Percy the Park Keeper and his Friends'.

We enjoyed reading the story  - The Rescue Party.  Poor Rabbit got stuck down a well. We thought carefully about the best way to rescue rabbit. We worked really hard to write rescue plans and then we sent some rescue parties up to the wildlife area to have a go at rescuing rabbit from different places. 

Here are some children in RL having a go at rescuing rabbit from the well. 

You can watch the video to see how rabbit manged to escape in the story...

Uganda

Hello lovely Reception! 

I hope you have all had a fantastic break and are looking forward to coming back to school on Tuesday! 

I have enjoyed a lovely trip to Uganda, in Africa.  I was so happy to take with me all of the shoes and clothes that you and other children at Woodmansterne brought in. Here are some pictures of the children enjoying their new shoes. 

School in Uganda can be very different to school in England.  

Here is one of the classrooms. What can you see that is the same and what is different from our classroom? 

In Uganda the children enjoy a drink called porridge during break time. What do we have for our snack at school?

The children have to wash their hands first just like you do. These children are washing their hands outside using rain water that has been collected in a tin can. 

The children enjoy drawing and playing football just like lots of children at Woodmansterne do. 


I can't wait to hear what you have been up to in the holidays. Why don't you comment below and tell everyone. 

Miss Lunn :) 

I can double!

Sir Charlie's Stinky Socks

Today we enjoyed our new story 'Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure' by Kristina Stephenson.

Here is a video of the story for you to enjoy at home.

Hotseating the wicked witch!

WHY did you lock Rapunzel in the tower?

WHEN are you going to let her out?

WHERE is the prince?

Rapunzel - witch traps!

We have been having lots of fun learning about the story of Rapunzel. Today we decided we wanted to free Rapunzel from her tower. We thought of ways we could help her and decided to make a witch trap! 

This afternoon we had a fantastic time building traps to catch the witch. We worked together and then took it in turns to test our traps.

Once we had caught the witch we had a go at asking her some questions. Can you remember why the witch locked Rapunzel in the tower?
                                                           

 " When the water goes onto the witch it will make the witch melt" - Dylan and Noah

"When you press this button it will help us to find the witch - this bit is a computer screen it can tell us where the witch is. " - Khaira and Aimee

"You throw out this bit that looks like a plane but hold onto the other end of the string. When it touches her it will electrocute the witch."  - Joe

"When the witch is walking past you have to pull the string and it will fall down on her and get her. You've got to hold it up - or you could use this stand to hold it if you don't want to be too near the witch. You can't let her get you." - Khalil

"It didn't work it was too heavy" - Angell

3d Shapes

Last week we were learning about 3d shapes. Here is a song to help us remember some of the new shape names that we have learnt. 

 


Can you see any 3d shapes hiding around your home? Why don't you comment below and tell us what shapes you can see. 

I found a cylinder and a sphere in my house!
