The children chose characters from The Great Fairytale Disaster. They used shapes to draw them and then painted their characters. We had Wolf, pigs, bears, Cinderella, giant, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Fairy Godmother. #LovePlover

Where are you Wolfy?
Last week we had a very special visitor from the book ‘The Great Fairytale Disaster’. We noticed wolf footprints in the classroom and saw videos of Wolfy around our playground. We have a few letters Wolf had written and the children wanted to help. They wrote kind messages to Wolf, made him food and built him a house to live in as his had been blown down! #LovePlover
Expert visitor
We loved having Catharine back in from the National Literacy Trust. She shared our key text ‘The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster’ with the children and enjoyed singing a range of rhymes. Catharine very kindly brought all the children a copy of Goldilocks and the three bears to take home as well, to share with their families.

Feel the force!
Today we have been exploring forces, learning 3 key words; force, push and pull. We tested out these forces by using tires and skipping ropes. We discussed how some of us found these quite easy and others more tricky.

What. A fantastic morning we had today, hearing from a real life author and illustrator! He inspired many of us to make our own characters and stories up. Watch this space in the coming weeks to see what we came up with! #loveplover
African day
F1 have enjoyed learning all about Africa today. We had lots of fun tasting the orange cake and juice we made yesterday, using African instruments, doing African dancing and African colouring. Thank you to all the parents that supported us by sending their child dressed up, everyone looked amazing.

Sail away, sail away, sail away!
Today, some children made their boats to help the gingerbread man cross the river! Some children wanted to add safety features so the fox could not get to him! They selected their own resources and used all their own ideas. It was lovely to hear them communicating and extending their ideas together. We are engineers!
Baking with Nana Bubb & juice making
We have had a great day today, baking orange cake and making our own orange juice! We even had a special visit from Nana Bubb this morning, as our expedition expert, to help us make the cake. We are so excited to taste them tomorrow for our African celebration day.

Showing resilience
Charlotte has shown resilience and perseverance this afternoon. She tried to make a model but it kept falling down. She used different resources and tried different ways to make it work. Well done Charlotte.

Helping the Gingerbread Man
Yesterday the children planned how they could help the Gingerbread Man. Today they made their models to help him cross the river. We had bridges, a climbing frame and some aeroplanes.
