What an exciting week we have had in P1b.  It all started on Monday when we arrived in school to find glittery footprints and a letter which was left by a friendly dragon.  He was asking if we could rebuild Fairyland in our classroom as it is disappearing and as lots of people are not reading Fairytales anymore no-one is believing in Fairyland.  We were so shocked that a dragon had been in our class but are excited to read lots of fairytales and rebuild Fairyland to help him.

In maths this week we practised our number stories of 4 and learned about measuring.  We spoke about all the different things that you can measure and had a go at measuring using cubes.  We learned that you have to use all the same size of cubes when measuring and have to make sure that the cubes are touching with no gaps.  We worked with a partner to draw around each others feet and measured the length of these using cubes.

We worked together in groups during reading routes and looked at different types of text.  We learned about bold and italic text and are looking out for these in our books.

In structured play we enjoyed dressing up in the fairyland castle, used construction materials to build beanstalks, practised spelling words and our names using the letters and made some stars to practise our ‘ar’ sound.

Finally, we got a lovely surprise when Badger the Mystical Mutt visited us on Thursday afternoon and delivered replies to the letters we wrote to him before Christmas.  We were very excited to see him and some of us enjoyed having pizza and listening to some of his stories after school with our grown-ups!
