P2/1 listened to the story of Tiddler by Julia Donaldson and shared their likes and dislikes about the story. The class discussed how the story was familiar to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The children discussed the impact of telling tall tales and fibs. During Writing time, the children made up their own excuse for Tiddler to tell his teacher the next time he is late! You can see these excuses below and also listen to the story below!

Elf on the Shelf Literacy and Maths
Our P2/1 class elf, William, left us a note along with some lovely, new books for Miss Rai to read to us. William said he had seen us learn about tally marks and left us 4 four Christmas stories to read and listen to. We were then to ask everyone which story we preferred and record our results using tally marks!
The most popular book was The Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas by Tom Fletcher and Dougherty Poynter.
Silly Sound Songs
The children in Primary 2/1 have enjoyed learning their new sounds this week. We came across these silly phonic songs and the children loved them! They wanted to share these songs with their friends and families at home!
