We met a very friendly superhero called Super Cat who taught us a fun road safety rap – ask the children to show you the actions at home! We were so inspired by Super Cat and his ability to swoop in and avert some serious road crossing disasters, that we wrote stories about him. We discussed the way stories are structured – the beginning part of the story to set the scene, the middle part where something exciting happens and the end where all the loose ends are tied up! The children demonstrated some excellent story writing skills and enjoyed sharing their books with their friends.
We had the most fabulous morning out in the spring sunshine practicing our road safety skills. We would love to thank Ms Busby and our ‘Junior Travel Ambassador’ friends for helping us!
In art, we enjoyed looking on the internet to find our favourite vehicle, which we then printed out to free watercolour painting. We have the most amazing vehicle gallery in the classroom including, police cars and helicopters, bikes and motor bikes and even fast jets. We also enjoyed creating our own road maps in partners, drawing road signs and crossings.
Well done to Reception for a wonderful start to the Spring Term; they have all focused and engaged in their learning and we are delighted with their progress. Have a wonderful half term, we shall look forward to hearing all the exciting news and seeing holiday snapshots on our return to school.
After half term, our topic is ‘Story time with Elmer’ and we are looking forward to our trip to Hampton Library on Tuesday 25 February.
Wishing you a very happy half term!
