We have been studying the Gruffalo even more. We have looked at all the things that make him a good character. We looked at the book and remembered his purple prickles, terrible teeth in his terrible jaw and his black tongue. We has to make our own character and had to think of lots of things it would need. Look at our pictures of our drawings.
We have been practising our Jolly Phonics sounds and trying to blend them together to read and write three letter words. We have been looking at our Oxford Reading Tree books and trying to perdict what will happen next in our stories.
In maths we have been continuing to look at pictograms. We made pictograms of fruit and we knew which fruit was the most popular. We also have been working with size. We looked at the characters from our Gruffalo story and thought about which was the tallest, shortest and narrowest. We used the Active Expressions to help us record our answers. We had to think about how the characters made us feel and we also had to choose our most favourite character in the story. Here are the results from our voting.
We have been learning songs for our Chirstmas Show, The Sleepy Shepherd. We have been using our super singing voices. Watch out for more information coming soon.
Please remember to leave a comment. The children have been so excited to read your comments about their learning.
Hello Dens Road. I have just been having a look to see what you have been doing with the Gruffalo this week. I really like your drawings
and am very impressed with your writing.
Can you tell me what Active Expressions is? We have Activote at our school. Perhaps your teachers can tell me a bit more?
Hello boys and girls.
Wow your artwork is brilliant – those pictures are fantastic! I’m very impressed. And you’re all so clever using Active Expressions. Is it too late to vote for my favourite character? I like the mouse best because he’s very clever – just like you!
I was very lucky on Monday because I got to hear your wonderful singing when you practised your Sleep Shepherd songs – I can’t wait to see the show!
Keep up the good work children! I’ll see you soon.
Mr Smith

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your comments. It was kind of you to write to us. Our favourite song that we have been learning so far is Woolly Sheep. We are very excited to be performing our show and we hope lots of our mummys, daddys, granny and grandads can come.
We are also really looking forward to our Christmas Fayre next week. We have been busy making snowflake candle holders, holly gift boxes, beautiful photo frames and mugs with our photo on them. It has kept us quite busy!!!
We enjoy reading your comments and look forward to reading what you think of our blog.
Good afternoon, Primary 1. It’s P7A1 here and we have very much enjoyed your blog. The Jolly Phonics brought back very good memories of when we were in P1 and we had fun having a little practice of the actions today. The Gruffalo Party gave us a great idea for raising money for Activity Week. Thank you! We loved your Gruffalo food and thought the cake was extraordinary! It made us all hungry. Your pictures were very detailed and nice. You must have put a lot of effort into them! We look forward to hearing your lovely singing in your Christmas Show. We’re looking forward to your next blog!
