Positional language

 This week we have been using positional language in a variety of different ways. 

The children have listened and responded to instructions about how to complete an assault course, going ‘over’, ‘under’ ‘around’ etc different obstacles. As well as directing each other around the course using the same language.




They’ve told each other instructions about how position hidden Lego bricks in different ways. For example ‘put the yellow brick on top of the blue and green brick’.




We’ve also been on a bear hunt. This activity involved the children hiding a bear around the outdoor area for their partner to find. They had to describe where the bear was hidden and if their partner found it they could keep the bear. The pair with the most bears won.

This week we’ve also started our new book ‘Halibut Jackson’. Yesterday, the bears used the positional language they’ve been learning to describe where Halibut is in the different scenes. They used their phonics knowledge as well as the high frequency words they’ve been learning to describe a picture. 

The bears continue to amaze me every day. Keep up the fabulous, hard work.

The drum was a cylinder and could roll. In literacy we have started reading 'Look Up', a story all about a young girl who dreams of becoming an astronaut!  We read how Rocket was inspired by Mae Jemison, the first African -American woman in space. Bears didn't think it was fair that African-American people were stopped from following their dreams. We spotted our phonics sounds through our telescope. We then shared, what we dreamed of doing in the future, from becoming an artist to being an ice cream seller. We also counted down as we watched the astronauts take off in the space shuttle and wondered what it would be like to be in space. We then practiced our 'mark making', drawing our space rockets with chalks and pretending to be rockets flying into space.  In our topic Marvellous Machines, w
