Thank you for all your comments. We have loved reading them. Please keep putting comments on our blog as we will be looking at it every week.
What a Gruffalo week we have had!
On Monday our homework was making a Gruffalo mask.
In school we have played in the Gruffalo’s Kitchen, games on the internet from www.grufflo.com, listened to the story in the reading corner with our MP3 players and played with the Gruffalo puppets at the puppet theatre.

We made invitations to give to each other for the party.

We also made menus for our party food.

By Wednesday afternoon we were SO excited!
We played party games in the nursery garden. We played Gruffalo Corners, Catch the tail of the fox and Gruffalo tig. If we were caught by the Gruffalo then we had to change into a tree in the forest.
Then we went into the class for the party food.
Purple Prickle Juice (blackcurrant juice), Poisonous Warts (green grapes), Roasted Fox (carrot sticks), Owl Ice Cream (vanilla ice cream with chocolate drops), Scrambled Snake (popcorn) and Gruffalo Cake.

We all helped to decorate the Gruffalo Cake with chocolate butter icing and lots of yummy ingredients to make it look like the Gruffalo.

Next week we are going to play pin the poisonous wart on the Gruffalo and we are going to read the story of the Gruffalo’s Child.

We have all enjoyed being at school full-time and have been learning to make choices at lunchtime. Well done to us, we won first prize at the Dundee Food and Flower Festival for our bugs craft activity!

We painted messy hand prints to make our learning tree. We have been talking about what we have been learning since we started school.

Our Jolly Phonics sounds this week were r, m, d and h. We need to keep practising our sounds because this will help us when we start to read.

We had gym for the first time and used our super listening ears to carry out all our instructions.

We have been continuing to learn about shapes and have been doing lots of shape activities and creating shape pictures.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to our ‘Meet the Teachers’ event on Thursday evening. It was great to see you many of you there.
