Our Reception pupils have been enjoying their ‘All aboard’ topic this term. Each week they will be learning about a different type of transport.
The class started off the topic with cars; they discussed how cars work, found the different parts and named them.
“We got to sit in the front seat and use the steering wheel, it was fun.”Rashi, Reception pupil
Their next mode of transport to learn all about was trains. The girls read ‘The Train Ride’ book and thought about the different parts that make up the story and acted them out. They then focused on generating ideas for their own train journey adventure by painting what they could see out of the window.
“I saw a beautiful rainbow and sparkly pink and purple flowers and butterflies out the train window.”Aicha, Reception pupil
After this, the girls wrote a story plan which included their own beginning, middle and ending using descriptive language and adjectives. Finally, they created their own zig zag books.
“I am so proud of my story, it is very exciting and fun!”Coralie, Reception pupil
