Pizza – making

How was your real pizza -making ?  The school have had some fabulous entries. Take a look at Mrs. O’Brien’s blog below. ( Click  Mrs OBrien at the bottom of the post below)

Pizza Competition!

Now you are ready for our new story (or is it new ?)

This book is American and there may be some words that you haven’t heard before. You will be able to guess the meaning of some words. Here are a few that are a bit trickier :

Mozzarella is a soft Italian cheese

eggplants are a vegetable – also called aubergines

How was this story similar to The Little Red Hen ?

How was it different ?

Which story did you prefer ? Why ?

In your home learning packs you will have some activities based around this book for you to try.

Enjoy the rest  of your day.

All this talk of pizza is making me hungry !

Take care

Hello,

Did you hear all the rain and thunder yesterday ?

Let’ s start with a rhyme about rain and thunder.

 Can you read and sing the rhyme yourself :

“I hear thunder

I hear thunder

Oh don’t you ?

Oh don’t you ?

Pitter patter raindrops

Pitter patter raindrops

I’m wet through – so are you !”

The rain will be good for all those plants that Reception have been busy growing.

Activity – this looks like a lot of fun !

Little Red Hen

Listen to me read the story with a little help from my son. I hope you enjoy it !

• What can we learn from this story ?
• Does the story have a message ?
• What would you have done ?
• What advice would you give to the animals ?
• Was Little Red right not to share?

This is what some people said after reading the story:

“If you want to share the rewards (the tasty bread)  then share the work !”

“Working hard brings rewards.”

“It’s always a good idea to help your friends”

Do you agree ? Why not comment on the blog .

Enjoy the rest of your day.
