Week 1/2

 The Three Little Pigs.

We are very excited to be back with another mission from fairy tale land.  This time there is another villain who keeps huffing and puffing and blowing down houses. We decided to share our ideas around who this could be and make some pictures. Our ideas included witches, ogres, trolls and wolves. 

We will be helping the people of fairy tale land this half term, completing challenges and helping to restore order in the land of make believe. 

A few days later we had another letter declaring the villain to be a wolf, the 3 pigs were very scared and they asked us to make posters to put up around fairy tale land to warn people of the wolf. 

Chicks 

The eggs have arrived! We are super excited to watch the development and see what hatches. 

 Planting and exploring with Joel

We were lucky enough to have a whole morning with Joel this week. He took us on an adventure, planting potatoes, runner beans and broad beans. We then went to the poly tunnel and tried an array of produce that is fresh and tasty. 

 Week 3

 Our chicks are continuing to grow and change, the children have shared their ideas around the changes. 

The wings are not fluffy now they are feathers - Jacob 

 They are getting bigger - Genevieve

    They are noisy and jumpy with scratchy feet - Hayah Noor

 We have enjoyed holding them and stroking them. We have been amazed by the awe and wonder of hatching chicks from eggs and seeing it happen before our eyes. 

VE DAY CELEBRATIONS

We celebrated VE day this week. We made scones and party hats and then we enjoyed a picnic in the garden whilst we heard 1940's songs being sung by an Opera singer. 

We waved our flags and has a great time. 

The Three Kittle Pigs

We have continued working on our text. We have been drawing the story, exploring the small world and using our building area to create lots of houses. 

 We enjoyed our half term learning all about the 3 Little Pigs. We were busy builders learning all about the best material to build houses with. 

Strong wood will be good - Dawud

If you use bricks it will stand up the wolf cannot puff it down - Albie                  

   Some houses are made of mud in Africa - Abdul Haadi

 My house is strong when it rains the water stays out that means it's waterproof - Hanna

   We ended our half term by saying goodbye to our special story and being very excited about what next half term might bring.
