Reading Share Morning

Today we invited parents and grandparents to our Reading Share Morning.
Mrs Sullivan explained to the parents some ways that we teach reading at Bressingham School and then the grown-ups joined the children to play and take part in some reading activities. Hopefully, there were some that they would like to try again at home to help their child to read. Here are some of the activities.

We sang nursery rhymes using a songbook and a bag of clues for songs and rhymes.

We played bingo using the graphemes and phonemes we have learned.

We made silly soup using ingredients that rhymed.

We made pointers that looked like wands to help us point to words in our books.

We used puppets to help us retell the story of Room on the Broom.

We read and followed instructions to make playdough and apple aliens.

We practised reading common words and common exception words on bricks.

We read words and did what the word said: jump, sit, clap, run, tiptoe ......

We read words on coins that we dug up in the sandpit and decided if they were real or fake words: treasure or rubbish!

We used our imaginations in our potions shed to make lots of magical potions.

Here are some photos of us doing the activities:

Welcome to our new children - September 2019

We have been exploring and settling into our new class.

We went on a walk around the school looking for letters, words and signs. We pretended to be invisible!

We met the Beat Baby who helped us to clap a beat and listen carefully.  

We have been trying new things such as different foods at lunchtime and we have been experimenting with sand, water, building materials and foam.

We worked as a team to earn ten bees in our honey pot so we went outside to celebrate and play "Wake up Mr Bear."

Sports Day and a more Wild Wednesdays

The children were resilient and brave as they took part in their first Sports Day. They had so much fun too!

We have been enjoying being outside all day on our Wild Wednesdays. The children have been looking closely at the world around them from the clouds to little minibeasts.

We even found some ladybird cocoons.



Some children made fairy wings, dinosaur worlds and dens.



Some children placed petals and leaves under cloth and then they used a mallet to tap on top until beautiful colours and shapes appeared.
