Reception -Aqua Class and Midnight Class
Minchinhampton Academy
This term our value is Truthfulness and we have been reading Tiddler by Julia Donaldson to demonstrate the importance of telling the truth.
We discussed some questions
What is true?
When you spill something and blame someone else that’s not true
True means it actually happened.
Why did no-one believe Tiddler when he was telling the truth?
Tiddler told too many fibs so that is why they didn’t believe him.
He always told fibs so they didn’t believe him.
This afternoon we explored the school grounds looking for signs of Spring. We found some lovely colourful flowers; daffodils, crocuses, primroses, celendine and one solitary snowflake in the middle of the field.
When we visited the pond we were amazed by all of the frogs and frogspawn we saw.
Reading in the library with Mrs Webb
We had a fabulous time dressing up as Emergency services and other people who help us. We thought about all the different people who help us when we are in need.

Today we performed two songs to the rest of the school for our Harvest Festival. We wore our vegetable printed t shirts and sang and danced with gusto!
Today we started Letters and Sounds and learnt the sound ‘s’. We found lots of things around the classroom beginning with the phoneme ‘s’.
We found Sammy the spotty snake, a silky, smooth, scarf, scissors, a pair of smelly stripy socks and a seal.
We painted snakes and thought of words to describe the snakes.
Here are some of the words we came up with
slithering, slipping, sliding, slow, sparkly, stripy, spotty, superhero, smelly, spiral, slimy, salty, sea, smooth, soft, sweet,
What things can you find at home that begin with ‘s’?
Here are some of the things we have been getting up to during outdoor learning.
