Open the Book 📖 ✝

Our local Open the Book team shared the story 'Four Good Friends' on Monday. The story allowed the children to reflect on loyalty, sacrifice and the considerations given to someone in need.

Our Reception children have been exploring triangles and circles this week. They have begun learning about the properties of these two shapes. We consider 'almost triangles' and 'almost circles' too, for example a pancake or a pizza slice!

We enjoyed walking around the village to observe signs of Autumn. The children gathered some of their favourite Autumn leaves as well as looking up high for bare trees which represent our focus season. The children spotted some blackberries that were shrivelled and not suitable for us to pick and eat. We spoke about blackberries being their best in Summer, the season before Autumn and that the berries would now be enjoyed by the birds for a short while longer. We stopped along the way on our walk and took time to consider our senses, the children used some ambition vocabulary to describe what they could hear, see, smell and feel.

Poppy and Austin were super mathematicians today when they were given a partially completed tens frame as part of their Discovery Board learning. The children represented the number bond with counters (concrete representation), drawing (pictorial representation) and the number sentence (abstract representation). The children also explored the Commutative Rule and successfully applied this to their learning.

VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION - In our CUSP Food and Nutrition lesson this week, we explored the definitions of four topic related words. As a little team, the children debated the strength of these words, ordering them from least tasty to most tasty!

The children have applied their newly learnt knowledge of vegetables doing our DT, Food and Nutrition unit. The children have been learning about the nutritious benefits of different vegetables and their contributions to our bodies. We prepared vegetables for both vegetable soup and stir-fry. The children learnt the claw and bridge method of cutting. Additionally the children learnt to grate and peel. We have evaluated our cooking too.

We have immersed ourselves in our gorgeous new book, 'The vegetables we eat'. We have learnt the special words: vegetable, crop and harvesting. The beginning of the book has seen us develop an understanding of annual and perennial plants. We have been exploring the eight different groups of vegetables according to the part of the vegetable that is eaten: leaf, bulb, flower bud, root, tuber, stem, fruit and seed pod. We also learnt that a Botanist is a scientist who studies plants! As part of our learning about vegetables, we enjoyed focusing our DT, Food and Nutrition unit around vegetables. This week we prepared and cooked vegetable soup and vegetable stir-fry.

We were excited to start our new book today, 'The vegetables we eat!' Many of our Continuous Provision activities link to our theme of vegetables. Together we explored the eight different vegetable groups and learnt about a botanist, a scientist who studies plant life.
