Big Talk

Here is the new image.

Can you make a list of the things you can see? Or Think of some sentences to describe what is happening.

 Where is this place?





What can you see?
Would you like to be there?
What is happening?
What will happen next?
For every comment on the blog I will put a heart peg onto the 'Reception is Kind' board.

Christmas Big Talk
 
As it's getting close to christmas, I thought this video clip would be an interesting Big Talk Homework. 'Shoe' is just over 3 minutes long.
 
 
 
Shoe -Award winning animation short film(2008) 
 
Talk about what you can see happening in the film.
 
Can you think of two sentences to describe what is happening?

 This week in Reception a Magpie came and made his nest ... we are yet to name him. Mr Magpie likes shiny things that catches his eyes. Especially brilliant Wow Words the children use in their play/learning.
 
When the children and I share a story;hop aboard the story bus or indeed share their Big Talk homework we look out for Wow words we could use for ourselves.
 
Thomas loved our retelling of Were the Wild Things are... and came up with a wonderful Wow word to describe Max's antics ... Mischief !
 
We think Mr Magpie is sure to use our sparkly Wow Words.
Great work Thomas!

Look at Olivia and David-George's super start to our Big Talk Blog post !
You have such a vivid imagination, Great work Olivia and David George !
 
Olivia -
 I think it is a volcano because it is steaming hot and when it is night time the volcano gets blocked . There is an insect climbing in it. The top of the volcano burns. The blue bit looks like a volcano light. There are stars in the sky and a white bit which leads you to treasure
 
David-George-
I see a burning thing, fire, there's stars, its getting night time. I think you'll get burned but if you do you get ice cubes and...(going into the kitchen) ....and this! (Bringing me the clingfilm)
 
Vinnie-
It's a fire, a bonfire.
(Are there any stars? ) Yes there is they are big.
The Fire is on my map, look!
It is very dark....mountain and water.
 
Jessica i can see a rocket that has fire in it.The rocket is going to space towards the stars.
-Orla-This picture looks like a mountain on fire at night time, with a shooting star above it.







Thomas - It's a fire, I wouldn't want to be there as there is a tornado coming too.

Launching Big Talk Homework
 

Big Talk homework is directly linked to our Big Talk Café where reception and some year 5 and 6’s will gather to talk about the thought provoking photograph (over a drink and a snack). We know the positive effect talk homework has on children’s writing, and they are always full of ideas to be written on the blog by their buddy. As we know if children cannot talk in complex sentences with WOW! Words then they will not be able to write it down. We really believe talk is the basis of writing.


 

All we ask is that on a Thursday afternoon/ evening you sit down with your child and discuss their talk homework and post their ideas on our blog. This will ensure our Big Talk Café is brimming with chat and excellent ideas.

  4. The film was called shoe. Daddy and livi were in it. Daddy made a dolly for his little girl because she was so pretty and daddy loved her. The little girl gived two shoes to her daddy because he had cold feet. The little girl fallen over in the snow with no shoes. I enjoyed this because it was brilliant.

  6. Thomas - Thomas thinks that this picture was taken in China, he said that there are lots of lights and lanterns and birds in the picture. There are lots of Chinese food shops and clothes shops. If Thomas was there he would have a Chinese meal, he would eat prawn crackers, noodles and seaweed. He thinks that some fireworks are about to go off to celebrate Chinese New Year, which Thomas said is the year of the Horse.

  7. This place is in town with loads of lights, butterflies and owls as well. I would like to be there because it's pretty, I like all the lights. I think there will be fireworks going off. The people are going to the shops to buy some apples, yogurts cheese strings and milky bar yogurts. Also some carrots, eggs, rice, more yogurts, fruit and vegetables, and a peach. I think next that the people are going to have a party. They are walking faster to get to the party to do some dancing and eat the party food they have bought at the party. The party is for a girl as she has got a badge on.

  8. Jessica - Big Talk - Not a Box
    If I had a box I would pretend it was a house and make a door in it. It might also be a boat that I could sit in with lots of sharks around! I would like to play hide and seek in a box.

  9. The painting is called night time lanterns because there are sometimes lanterns in the sky at night. An artist painted. I can see a black castle, bright lanterns, houses with candles to keep them warm. The swirly things are shooting stars that are 100 miles away.

  10. I really liked playing with my friends, playing chase with Kai. Going to the park with everyone. This year I have really loved the stories. I like the jelly that didn't wobble, the kings orders, little rabbit fufu, and cave baby. But my best thing about this year is playing in the MUD!!!
