Autumn

Weeks 1-3

Traditional Tales

We found a broken chair, bear prints and bowls of porridge in the classroom. We took photos and captioned them. We then found the story, Goldilocks and the three bears. We read the story and made puppets and story maps to help us to orally rehearse the text. We then rewrote the story and completed our first Big Write. 

Weeks 4 to 6

We are going to be creating a wanted poster in this genre of learning and the children came into school yesterday to discover a pile of bones and a new book for us to enjoy.  Alongside this we checked the CCTV and found out that a Dancing Skeleton had been in our class over the weekend!

We're Going on a Bear Hunt

Something strange happened in the Bothams' classroom this week.  At first the children thought it might be Bigfoot or the Gruffalo but we discovered it was a BEAR! 

We found the book hidden under a blanket and throughout the week different items were left under the blanket for us to investigate.
