This week in reception, we looked at the story ‘ Naughty Bus’. As classes, we enjoyed reading the story together, looking at key vocabulary and exploring where the Naughty Bus went on his travels. The children created pictures of their own Naughty Bus and were excited in exploring where their bus would take them. They thought of a variety of places where their bus could go and what their bus would look like. Children also labelled key features of a bus and really enjoyed looking through the book.   During our literacy lesson, children wrote fantastic sentences describing the bus and some children even described how the bus was feeling.

The key areas that we covered are :

 

Literacy 

Children use key features of narrative in their writing.

Communication and Language
