We Are Photographers

The children in Reception have been enjoying the class story Naughty Bus by Jan and Jerry Oke and have been inspired to write the next chapter of the bus’s adventure. They spend time with the talk partners deciding whether the bus had learned his lesson and become a nice bus or if he would continue his naughty mishaps. From this, the children then had to think about where he would go and what he would do. Things got exciting when just like in the book the children had to take a photo of the bus on his adventure.

Off they went with their ideas in their mind, the children were able to stage the picture with the toy bus and take the images themselves. All the children commented on how they enjoyed this task wanting to take more pictures which they did during free flow experimenting with the iPad cameras and taking pictures of toys and plants in the garden. When the pictures were stuck in their writing books the children had no problem getting to work independently. Showing off their progression with the use of their phonics, finger spaces, and correctly formed letters. Some brilliant imagination was shown and a fantastic attitude towards learning was displayed by all of Reception!
