This week our focus book was The Fish Who Could Wish by John Bush and Korky Paul.
The children have enjoyed talking about the things they would wish for if they were special like the fish.
“I would wish for a new bike.”
“I would wish for a swimming pool.”
“I would wish for lots of friends.”
Our word of the week was Unique the children have really enjoyed using this during their learning.
“I am unique because nobody has hair like me.”
“I am unique because I have legs like this.”
Poetry Picnic
This week our poem was Dance by Nancy White Carlstrom (good luck with the actions!)
Do a dance says one foot.
Other foot says let’s jiggle.
Hands say clap, slappity slap.
And all of me says wriggle.
Help at home: can you teach our poem of the week to your family, don’t forget to include the actions?
The classroom Challenges this week have been
- to write a message to the fish who could wish.
- to sort the pictures into morning activities and night time activities.
- to draw and label a fish.
- to paint a self portrait.
Move Up Day Fun
The children had a great time when they went to visit their new classroom and teachers. Miss Bye and Mrs Palmer as really looking forward to getting to know ‘the best class in the school’ in September.
Nell Bank
What an amazing, but slightly wet day we had when we went on our school trip to Nell Bank, the children were so fantastic and showed great resilience. During the day we listened to a story called Tidy about Pete the Badger who likes everything in the forest to be neat and tidy. We went on a walk and found some rubbish that we sorted it into things that can be recycled and things that can’t. We crawled through some badger tunnels, had our lunch, (the highlight of the day!) went looking for minibeast and then made a home for a baby badger. It really was a jam packed day out!
