Julian- “We went to the library this week. Miss Boyes read us a story.”
Miss Boyes read us ‘A library Book for Bear’.
Our Wordboost book this week was “The Train Who was frightened of the Dark.”
Joshua- “One of our boost words was passenger.”
A passenger is someone who goes places in a bus, boat, plane or train.
Khyla “Terrified was another boost word.”
If you are terrified you feel very, very frightened.
Emileigh-Rose “Entrance was a boost word.”
The entrance to a place is the way into it, for example a door or a gate.
Adam- “Cosy was the other boost word.”
If something or someone is cosy
they are warm and they feel nice.
Isla – “In writing this week we listened to the story ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea”.
Ethan- “I wrote a story about a panda who came to tea.”
Sophie- “I wrote a story about a dolphin who came to tea.”
Emilie- “A unicorn cam to tea in my story and ate chocolate cake.”
We loved playing in our role play corner, where we acted out the story. We also enjoyed writing invitations at the writing table and drawing what we would give the animal to eat.
This week I enjoyed playing the money bingo game. The caller says an amount and you have to count the coin to see if you have it on your board.”
Liam- “I have enjoyed finding out different ways to make an amount this week and completing lots of fun challenges.”
Lewis- “I enjoyed counting the money to save in the piggy bank.”
Wojciech- “I liked buying toys at the toy shop with the money.”
We started our topic about life in the past. Hamish Mc Haggis came to visit us and he has been sending us his books. Some of his books are visits to famous castles in Scotland so we have decided to learn about these castles.
We made a topic plan so that we can start our adventures with Hamish.
We have been making our own castle in the classroom and we decided to make it gold on the instead and painting bricks on the outside with a sponge.
We celebrated Burns day by learning about Robert Bunrs and having a Burns Supper.
Khyla- “He was a famous poet.”
Isla- “We ate Haggis, shortbread and oatcakes.”
Sophie- “I thought the highland dancing was really fun.”
Connor- “I liked listening to the bagpipes and listening to Auld Lang Syne.”
