This week we have been learning about invitations. The children created their own invitation for the other class inviting them to a special story time in our outside area. On Friday afternoon, we went and had our special story time in the new Reading Area, where we listened to a special version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children took home their bean plants that they have been growing and we could not believe how well they have grown!

Week beginning 17/04/23

This week the children have had a fantastic time exploring our new topic "What is a traditional tale?". They couldn't believe their eyes when they discovered a mystery bag had arrived in the classroom. We felt it and had lots of different ideas of what it might be. We carefully opened it to discover some magic beans! We then read our first story of this project "Jack and the Beanstalk". We did some fantastic writing labeling and writing different sentences about different parts of the story. In Maths we have been looking at the composition of numbers beyond 10 to 20. We then planted some beanstalks of our own. We are very excited to watch them grow over the coming weeks.
