The Magic Paintbrush is an inspirational read from Julia Donaldson. With her magic paintbrush, Shen can paint steaming pots full of fish and oysters to feed the hungry people in her village. When the evil emperor commands Shen to paint gold for him, she is determined to keep her promise to paint only for the poor.
This week we painted only ‘for the poor’ and just like in the book everything became real. We also sorted Useful and Not Useful things and labelled them all by ourselves. We had some simple words like hat and box, and not so simple like shrimp and ring. Have a look at our writing books…. we did an amazing job:
As we are so confident blending sounds, reading the words and labelling everything Shen painted wasn’t tricky at all. Fantastic blending reception!
Little Wandle
In Little Wandle this week we’ve learnt 4 new digraphs:
We were also busy learning new tricky words and reviewing previously thought. We had tricky words printed on mittens and the children had to dry them on the washing line:
In Maths this week, the children continued to engage with activities that draw attention to the purpose of counting – to find out ‘how many’ objects there are. We were naming the objects being counted to emphasise the numerosity of the set, e.g. Would you please collect 6 crayons and bring them to me?. We were also rehearsing the order of the first 5 numbers and understanding that the position each number holds in our number sequence does not change.
