This week we have been learning about the characters in a story. Our WALT was We are Learning to think about characters in a story. Our WILF was listening to each other’s ideas, talking about the three little pigs and talking about the wolf.

Mrs Munro clicked on the first little pig and up popped the first little pig. He told us that he likes to build houses and his favourite material is straw. Click on the link to watch the VOKI.

We had lots of ideas about the first little pig character.

Then we clicked on the second little pig character. Up he popped and he told us that he likes to build houses using sticks. Click on the link to watch the VOKI.

We had lots of ideas about the second little pig character.

Then the third little pig character popped up. He told us that he loves bricks. He also likes making houses but they must be strong . Click on the link to watch the VOKI.

We had lots of ideas about the third little pig.

Then the big bad wolf popped up. He was a bit scary. He said he liked to blow down houses and eat pigs. Click on the link to watch the VOKI.

We had lots of great ideas for the wolf character.

We told everyone about our favourite character from the three little pigs story and why we liked that character the best. Then we drew a picture of our character and Mrs Munro asked us what our characters was saying. She wrote it on a speech bubble for us and wee stuck it on our picture. I think you will agree some of our wolves look very scary!

This week we have been learning all about letters and words. Mrs Munro told us all about WALT and WILF who help us learn. WALT told us that we were learning to tell the difference between a letter and a word. WILF told us what Mrs Munro wanted us to do. We had to look at the letter or word, talk about it and sort it.

We all got a turn to come up to the Promethean Board and move a letter or a word into the correct place. We had to wait our turn and listen carefully. We also had to help each other too.

Then Mrs Munro had a bag with lots of letters and words that were all mixed up. We had to sort them out for her. We went round the circle and took turns. We were really good and telling the difference between a letter and a word. The letter is all by itself and the word is letters joined together. We even counted to see how many letters were in a word. Chimney is a long word, it has seven letters in it. Pig is a short word, it only had three letters in it.
