I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff…

This week we have loved reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. Sunshine class were fantastic at acting out the story. Mrs Parkinson was particularly impressed with Harvey who put on a wonderful Wolf voice and Elle who was able to narrate the whole story whilst her friends acted it out. Lucy and Ethan were great little pigs remembering what their house was built from.

After we read the story we talked about all the different kinds of houses that you could live in. We chose different houses we liked the best and respected the fact that everybody made different choices.

“I would like to live in a castle because I like to see things high up” (Brodey)

“I think I will have a detached house with four bedrooms. One for mummy and daddy, one for me, one for my sister and a spare one for sleepovers” (Joshua)

“I like to build a snowman and live in the snow house (Log Cabin)” (Harrison)

We then all accepted the challenge to build houses which would protect us. The houses had to have 4 windows, 1 door, 4 walls and a roof.  The class worked hard in teams to build these with different construction materials. We shared our super creations with each other. After this we made houses to the same criteria out of big boxes. Again we worked hard in our teams and planned all the resources we needed to make our homes. These are a working progress and more detail will be added to them once they are dry.

Miss Chippendale is very impressed with the phonics in class this week. Children have done a fabulous job with blending this week. Iyla-Rose and Brodey worked really hard at recognising lots more of their High Frequency words – well done!

As this weekend is a special one for all you mums, we have been talking about how wonderful you are and how much you do to help us. We have made something special for you for Sunday which we hope you will like.

We hope you have heard about the Spiderman visiting. Sunshine class were very interested and thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the animals he brought. Please see our pictures on the website.
