It has been a really exciting week in Primary 1. On Monday we came back from lunch to find a trail of green glitter and a letter in our library corner!
After a very exciting discussion we opened the letter and this is what it said…
All of the children agreed that we must help the dragon and the characters of Fairyland. The dragon asked us to rebuild Fairyland in our classroom, so we decided to write to Mrs Stewart and ask her if we could. Some examples below-
Thankfully she agreed. As the dragon mentioned Jack we decided to start by reading Jack and the Beanstalk. We have read 3 slightly different versions and enjoyed all of them. After reading we decided we needed to build and decorate a beanstalk with lots of leaves.
We now have lots of beautifully decorated leaves and magic beans to put on and around the beanstalk (I will hopefully be able to post a picture of completed beanstalk next week)
Writing – Narrative Genre 
For writing this week we wrote a story about Jack and his adventure. The children had to write who was in the story, where it took place, what happened and how Jack felt. They all did a fantastic job!
Numeracy
This week we took our numeracy work outside. We made giant number lines and practised jumping forwards and backwards to remind us which direction to go in when we are adding and subtracting.
Health and Wellbeing
This week we had a yoga lesson with Mrs Anderson. The children enjoyed meditating, pretending to move like jungle animals and even enjoyed the relaxation at the end.
I hope you all have a lovely long weekend and I look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 4th May. I will update you on our Fairyland progress next week.
