This week

Wow, what a busy week we have had so far. We have started learning our new story to retell; The Three Little Pigs and have made a class story map of the story (Mrs Saeed was surprised at how wolf like her first wolf picture looked but then on the second attempt it turned into a duck which had the whole class in stitches!).

We have all drawn pictures of the story in our writing books and have tried labelling our pictures. Some of us have made collages of houses using card, buttons, gummed paper, feathers, pipecleaners, tissue paper and anything else we could find – we have had a tree house, a haunted house and a bridge house so far.

Today we acted out the story –  there are some very talented young wolf actors in our class – bearing teeth and sharp claws, slinking up to the pigs’ houses.

In letters and sounds we are now learning how to write our letters correctly using whiteboards and marker pens. Everyone is trying really hard and Mrs Saeed has been very impressed with how well everyone is doing.

In maths we have been counting backwards and have learnt a new counting back from 10 song. Ask your child to sing it to you!

Visiting Author

During Book Week we were very lucky to receive a visit from the children’s author Julia Jarman. She read some of her stories to us including The Big Red Bath and Class 2 at the Zoo and she talked about what had been the inspiration for her stories.

Book Week

This week is book week and we are all looking forward to reading lots of fairy tales on Monday, bringing in and sharing our favourite books on Tuesday, immersing ourselves in poetry on Wednesday, reading picture books on Thursday and dressing up as fairy tale characters on Friday.  Watch out here for any updates throughout the week!

All about Bears

In class we have been finding out lots of information about different types of real bears. We found out that Grizzly Bears have curved claws, Polar Bears have 42 teeth, Black Bears climb trees, Koala Bears are not true bears and the Sun Bear is the smallest species of bear. We all painted our favourite bear and here they are.
