Literacy and Talk for writing:
‘The little red hen’
Reading this story has taught Reception children a few things and made them think about certain behaviour.
A few examples would be:
- Being lazy does not pay off and hard work will be rewarded.
- Almost all beautiful things require a bit of time to blossom.
- Being nice and helpful to people is very important.
Children had fun making masks and putting on a little play:
We added our own character to the story – ‘The Dog’.
‘The little red hen‘ story map. It helped the children retell the story without adult support.
As well as putting on a play, pupils enacted a puppet show using ‘The little red hen’ characters.
This project has been truly fun! The children boosted their confidence and built up their English vocabulary.
Maths:
A delicious and enjoyable maths activity.
Let’s look at some shapes:
Using their cutting skills, children made animals from ‘The little red hen’.
Speaking and listening:
Children had to follow instructions that involved one or more steps. They had to listen carefully!
Topic:
New Year and Chinese New Year.
We also made some colourful fireworks! The children enjoyed splashing the paint on the paper. It was a bit of a messy time 🙂
See you next time.
