One more week to go until the end of this first half of the summer term! As always, it has been super busy and full of excitement! This week our Traditional Fairy Tale has been ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’, we learnt the story through active storytelling and small group dramatic role play. In Phonics, we have reviewed some the digraphs, trigraphs, tricky words and also learnt what cvcc  (lamp) words are. We have challenged ourselves further in Maths  by focusing on problem solving and applying our subtraction skills. Children have designed some amazing bridges that are strong enough for the Billy Goats Gruff to cross and for the Troll to hide under!  After some deep and meaningful discussions during our P4C session, we also wrote a ‘text’ message to the Troll or Wolf suggesting  how they need to change their ways!

Here are next week’s rainbow challenge signs for you to discuss with your child over the weekend- Challenge Signs

Next Week:

English: Focus Book- The Great Fairytale Disaster

The Great Fairy Tale Disaster: Conway, David, Williamson, Melanie ...

The children receive a letter from the wolf explaining that he is trying really hard to be a Big Good Wolf. He also offers the story, ‘The Great Fairytale Disaster.’  Children discuss and suggest what they think the wolf needs to do (or show to another character) that  he is now a ‘goodie’. They then go onto create their own version of this story in a zig zag book.
