Ash Class Reception Y1

Today the children recorded their learnig and ideas on digital microscopes. We pressed record and listened for the beep!  We then finished our recording and listened for two beeps.  To check it had worked we pressed 'play' and listened carefully!

We worked as team to complete a jigsaw of 'The Hungry Caterpillar'.

Today is phoics we have been learning about 'ew' in words.  We have been writing chew, screw, stew and dew.

Last Wedensday we made hairy caterpillars using old tights, compost, grass seeds and string.  The children added buttons and pipe-cleaners to decorate.  We will water them and give them some light.  Watch this space....

We have been using food lids to retell the story of 'The Hungry Caterpillar'.  We had to put the food in the caterpillar's mouth in order.  On Monday....

We designed a house using sweets and tomorrow we will se if the wolf can blow it down!
