This half term...
Our project for this term is Will you read me a story?
Welcome to the magical world of fairy tales! Was the Big Bad Wolf really so bad? How many bowls of porridge did Goldilocks eat? Let’s find out more about our favourite stories, and discover some new ones.This half term, we’ll watch a pantomime to see the characters come to life! We’ll play imaginatively with a model castle and small world characters. We’ll look at different character types, and decide whether our favourite characters are ‘goodies’ or ‘baddies’! Using different materials and shapes, we’ll build castles and bridges. We’ll read lots of stories and look at the ingredients that go into a fantastic fairy tale. We’ll be brave explorers and hunt for missing items from fairy tales. Reading The Elves and the Shoemaker will encourage us to be busy elves and decorate shoes in our workshop. Contemporary versions of fairy tales will inspire us to write stories, and we’ll create story maps to retell familiar tales. Our mathematical skills will help us to count the buttons on gingerbread men, and estimate how many beans Jack has got! After reading The Enormous Turnip, we’ll plant seeds and learn how to care for them. We’ll also test the right materials to make a bed for a princess, and houses for the Three Little Pigs.
At the end of the project, we’ll look back at photographs of our amazing experiences. We’ll also attend a fairy tale tea party and dress up as our favourite characters.
Help your child prepare for their project
Reading fairy tales can sweep us away into a fantastical world. Why not visit your local library together to read lots of different versions? You could also watch children’s films on this theme and discuss the different types of characters. Alternatively, you could use toys to retell favourite fairy tales
PE lessons will be every Monday so please remember to wear PE kit to school.
Forest School sessions will be on a Thursday afternoon, please wear your winter PE kit to school and remember hats, scarves and gloves!
Please make sure all items of clothing are named as this makes returning them to the correct child much easier! This includes shoes, plimsoles and wellies, and any spare clothes you put inside their PE bag.

Blended Learning
In the event that your child has to remain at home, during periods of self-isolation, or in the event of a local or more widespread lockdown, we will provide blended learning for your child. This will normally be the activities posted on Class Dojo at the beginning of each week.
As we progress through the year it will be more appropriate to access lessons/activities from the Oak Academy, for Reception these are blocks of learning linked to a story or theme. In this case I will add you to the Cherry Class Blended learning Class Dojo page for the duration of your isolation period.
