Hello there and welcome to our blog!

We have been revising our sounds every day and we have also been practising writing CVC and CCVC words. Some of us are writing short sentences on our own and some of us are extending our writing and writing longer sentences. We have also been looking at capital letters and full stops. Very important when we write our sentences!

                        

We have continued to work on addition this week. Some of us who are confident in adding to 10 have been working with numbers to 20. This is much more tricky!

              

This week we all got a letter from the 3 Little Pigs. P1a received a letter from the third Little Pig. P1b received a letter from the first Little Pig and P1c got a letter from the second little pig. As a result of receiving the letters we are building a straw house, a brick house and a stick house in our class rooms.  

  

  

          

There is also the 3 Little Pigs building site in Mrs Lynch’s room. We have been building straw houses, stick houses and brick houses in here. The story of the Three Little Pigs has been hidden in the sand tray and we have had to find all the pieces of the story and put them in the correct order.

  

              

We have been reading different stories and versions of the traditional tale The Three Little Pigs and we have also been talking about a story having a beginning, a middle and an end. We looked at a video clip of the story and also read a rhyming book of the story and we compared the endings.  We then drew a picture of our favourite ending and wrote about our picture.
