Word Boost
Carter: the story was called I don’t want to go to bed.
Shea: in the story the tiger wanted to go to bed and he stayed up all night.
Mara: the tiger doesn’t like to sleep.
Jane: instead of staying up he went to play during the night and he saw his friends.
Lucas: scurry was one of the boost words. It means you run away if you’re scared.
Amelia: belong is a boost word. My eyes belong to me.
Roma: disappear is a boost word. It means you can’t see something.
Luke: staring is a boost word.
Rojin: stare means you look at something a long time.
Phonics

Lucas: it sounds like the c and s sound like ‘cs’.
Roma: six has the ‘x’ sound.
Luke: box has the ‘x’ sound.
Pati: ‘x’ is a quiet sound.

Numeracy
Shea: in the tuff tray you had to make numbers using the numicon and that made the numicon messy.
Luke: on the bus game, you roll the dice and see what number you get. If you get 6 you move 6 and there was a sum on the square and you need to do the sum. If the sum was 2+1 it would be 3.
Roma: with the cups game, you needed to throw a ball in the cup. Me and Freya played it. We got 1+0, that made 1.
Amelia: I made my own ten frame. I made 4 + 4 for 8.

Carter: I like singing about Herod having a party.
Layla: I like doing the actions.
Roma: I like speaking on stage.

Writing
We were inspired after watching a clip of the movie Wall-E to design our own robots. We then wrote about what our robots would do. Here is the clip we watched:
Jane: My robot made butterflies.
Shea: My robot would do my homework.
Luke: My robot would do my homework.
Carter: My robot would make my dinner.
Logan: My robot would drive me to school.
Michelle: My robot would fix my bike.
Christmas Fair
Shea: We made reindeer food.
Carter: we had to scoop the food into bags, tie it and put labels on it.
Roma: We made a big poster. It said ‘Reindeer Food £1’.
Rojin: we made stockings to decorate the hall.
Carter: we had to set up the stall. We put the reindeer food on the tree and we had to put more on it when it was selling out.
Lucas: we had to sell the reindeer food.
Roma: I liked helping and collecting the money.
Lucas: I liked all the money as well.
Shea: I was shouting ‘who wants some reindeer food’.
We will be selling reindeer food next week if you didn’t get the chance to buy some at the Christmas fair. Please bring £1 to school next week if you wish to buy some reindeer food.
