This week, our book focus has been ‘The Night Pirate’ and many other pirate books.
The children know so much about Pirates:
They fight.- Adriana
Fire the canon!-Jack
They hunt for gold or treasure!-Max
They sail in a boat.-Ronnie
They wear eye patches.-Sofia
They have pirate hats on and a ship.- Stanley
We made predictions about the book and made some amazing story maps. Each child could re-tell the story using the story maps. The book has some adventurous vocabulary too. We like to stop and discuss any new vocabulary and it’s meaning. We also try to use the new word in a variety of sentences-perhaps you could do this at home.
Story map examples:
Here’s how we extended our learning in ‘pirate provision’ this week:
Transition-On Thursday afternoon all children spent time with their new class teacher for next year. The children really enjoyed this opportunity to be in their new classroom and get to know their new teacher/s and classmates.
D-I-S-C-O!
We had the best time in the hall dancing, playing games and eating our FOSP organised treats. Thankyou FOSP.
Next week:
Sadly, this will be our last week but we will not stop learning or making memories!
Spare bags-please could you send a heavy duty bag (such as a carrier bag or fold-able shopping bag) into school next week. We plan to send each child’s books and special things home. Please name the bag where possible too.

Please could your child draw a picture of themselves in Reception with their friends. If your child could write a sentence about a favourite memory from the year that would be wonderful!
