In honour of International Women’s Day AND Book Day this week we have been learning about one of our favourite Authors, Julia Donaldson!

We read lots of stories by the author including The Gruffalo and The Smartest Giant in Town.

We re-told the story of The Gruffalo using the stick puppets we coloured and cut out ourselves.

In our Forest School session this week we went on a Gruffalo Hunt! We had to work in groups to read these clues and find the characters from the story!

When we came back to the classroom we found The Gruffalo had left some..erm…tasty treats for us to try!

Best face ever! 

We used adjectives to describe what each of the animals tasted or felt like and wrote sentences about them.

We made a Giant Gruffalo using recycled materials and wrote labels for the different parts of his body, just like the descriptions in the story!

Miss Bull read us the story of The Smartest Giant in Town. We had to listen out for words that had our sound of the week (‘sh’) in ,and see if we could match our sound stick to the rest of the word on the board.

Innayah was the bravest Giant in Town and let us dress her up in a smart shirt, a stripy tie, shiny shoes, smart trousers and yellow socks, the same as the Giant!

On International Book Day we came in dressed as our favourite characters. Some parents came to read to us and we re told our favourite stories to the class!

We showed and talked to the parents about all the work we had been doing this week!

On International women’s day we talked all about the favourite women in our lives and what  makes them so special. We had a Teddy Bear’s picnic in class and made some presents for our special women!

What a busy week! Thank you my little P1B book worms for making it so fun – I am so proud of all of all of your achievements this week, have a lovely weekend!

Miss Bull
