Early Years - Writing Postcards - Queen

Queen’s Jubilee We were learning about money. We linked it to the Queen’s Jubilee. The children need to match the value of the stamp to the correct postcard. e.g. Miss West’s stamp is 19p. Can you find 19p? Can you make 10p using coins? How many ways can you make 19p? We used this in the provision whilst learning about the Jubilee. Then we wrote our own postcards about what we enjoyed during the Jubilee celebration.

Year 1 - Theme of Superheroes. Read the story Supertato. DT project - design and make a Supertato. We used the TASC wheel to structure the project. Letter from the Evil Pea - I left ‘bad messages’ from the Evil Pea around the school. Whoever read these messages turned bad. My TAs were mixing up all of the toys, and sitting on the tables. The children were in shock at first! Then, someone decided to make posters that had good messages on them to turn everyone back good. We focused on what ‘good’ and ‘bad’ meant.
