A sad dragon sent us a letter asking us to save Fairyland. We decided to help him. We have been learning all about the people in Fairyland. We have made a castle for the dragon and a beanstalk for Jack to climb.

We had a visitor to our class this week. Mrs Angus came into our class to see our learning. We were all busy with our active spelling activities making words with the ‘u’ sound in the middle . We were doing lots of different activities including stamping to make our words, using plastic tiles and magic boards to write our words and also cutting and sticking pictures to the right word. If we were quick finishers we could also make our words in the sand. We all worked really hard to spell words with the ‘u’ sound in the middle.
