March 2013

Something fishy was going on in Reception this week!
As a class, we made up a story called 'Goldy's Adventure' about the exciting journey of a pet fish. The children had to decide what was going to happen, who the characters were and try to use exciting story language. We then put actions to our story so that we could retell it orally to our friends. Lots of the children did a really good job at remembering it. Next we made story maps, showing the story using pictures and words. Some children even attempted to re-write the whole story! We have really enjoyed working on a story together and look forward to the next one.
 
This follows on from the work we did last week on the Rainbow Fish, which we are in the process of making a fantastic display of.
