AUTUMN 2007

 

 

We have been learning to tell the story of the Little Red Hen.  We made bread just like the Little Red Hen.    Later we told the story to all the school and our families in a special assembly.

SUMMER 2008

 

We have been learning to tell the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.  We have been acting out the story during drama and have been writing the story too. 

 

       

          The Three Billy Goats went               We were acting out being

           trip trap over the bridge                           the nasty troll

 

 

Baby Billy Goat went over the bridge to eat the fresh green grass

 

               

 

                

 

Some children chose to make up their own stories and draw story maps to accompany their stories. 

 

              

 

A small group of children have been interested in learning and finding out about dinosaurs.  They have been working together as a group to make up their own dinosaur story and poem.

 

                        

 

We went to Beacon Wood in May.  We all had a great time.  Here are some of our favourite things about the trip.

 

         

    

Callum:         I liked it when I found my tree – I found it straight away.

 

Rosie:          I liked it when we had a list of things to find.  I didn’t like

                   walking up the hill though, I was so tired!

 

Gabbie:        I liked the feel the tree game.  It was like a rough spiky

                   Stick.

 

Alex:           I liked finding my tree.  I found it straight away and there

                   was a hole in it.  It was hard going back up the steep steps

                   and I was tired.

 

           

 

When we return to school we drew maps of our route to Beacon Wood. 

 

            

 

We have been caring for some tadpoles in Foundation Stage.  The children have been looking closely and talking about their observations and the changes they have noticed.

 

Daniel noticed that two of the tadpoles had changed into frogs.  He said "I know that frogs have strong legs and they eat flies".  Look!   Daniel noticed that one tadpole was turning into a frog.  "Do you know, frogs have long tongues to catch flies".

 

James said "It's turned into a baby frog.  It can eat flies because it's got a long tongue".

 

The children enjoyed looking closely at three frogs and carefully drew their observations.
