Letter from the Troll
Today, we received a letter from the Troll!!
He told us that he was very unhappy because he had no friends and was a bit lonely living under a cold, smelly bridge. The Troll asked if the Superstars could give him some advice on how to make some friends. Some of the Superstars felt so sorry for him they decided they would make the Troll their friend.
Here’s a selection of their advice.
“Dear Mr Troll, if you wash your hands and wash your body and cut your nails every day you will be nice and clean and people will like you.” Kyle
“Dear Mrs Troll, if I come trip trapping over your bridge I will give you a sweet and then I will be your friend.” Ellamae
“Dear Mr Troll, you should be a nicer troll and be kind. Do not shout at people and show them respect.” Kaitlyn
“Dear Mr Troll, I think you should come to my class and play with me.” Jack
Here are some pictures of us pondering our advice!
Wolf’s Magnificent Master Plan
Today was the Superstar’s turn to do an assembly in front of the whole school.
We decided to do a drama presentation of one of the favourite books we have read in class – “Wolf’s Magnificent Master Plan” by Melanie Williamson.
The book tells the story of a wolf who needs some new teeth. He hatches a plan to hypnotise lambs into using their own wool to knit jumpers, and then he plans to sell them in his shop to get lots of money. With the money, the wolf plans to buy new teeth and ….
You will need to read the book to find out!! Needless to say, the lambs have a cunning plan too!!!
Most of us were lambs in the play so we made ourselves some lamb headbands earlier in the week.

Our narrators did an excellent job.
Our wolf was magnificent!
We all worked really hard and did a brilliant job on the day.
A special thank you to all the mums and dads and grannies who did a wee bit of knitting and provided knitting needles and wool.
Baaa!

Well done. Keep up the good work!
Mr Wolf and the Three Bears
During the week we read another of Mrs Stewart’s favourite books, “Mr Wolf and the Three Bears” by Jan Fearnley.
In this book, Mr Wolf invites the three Bear’s over for a party to celebrate Baby Bear’s birthday. But guess who turns up to spoil the party? Yes, that’s right, Goldilocks!!
Never mind, she gets her comeuppance in the end. Read the book and you will find out.
In the book, Mr Wolf and Grandma Wolf look on the internet, at a site called www.hungry-wolf.com to get some ideas for recipes.
We decided to try out two of them – Cheesy Snip Snaps and Daddy Bear’s Huff Puffs.
We also did some porridge bowl art. It was a busy day!
Ode tae a Bumblebee
Every year we learn a Scottish poem to recite for the Burns Poetry Speaking competition. This year our class chose “Ode tae a Bumblebee” by Stuart McLean.
Here are some Superstars reciting the poem. Let us know what you think by clicking on the comments link above.

Today’s Dragon Mail
The Dragon wrote to let us know that he loved the posters that we made yesterday.
We are trying to make our beanstalk bigger. We made some more leaves when we had finished our maths and cut them out so they are ready to be added to the beanstalk.
Mrs Bailey brought us in some more books. One of them is called “Daft Jack and the Bean Stack.” We are about half way through it and we are really enjoying it. We think it is quite funny.
We talked about the main features of a book cover. We looked at the different “Jack” stories that we have in class and discussed what we liked about them and why.
We designed our own book covers.
In the afternoon we tried acting out parts of the story using mime. Then we worked in small groups and improvised and added some dialogue to our scene. We learned that we have to use nice loud voices and remember to face our audience when we are performing.
