Jack and the Beanstalk

We have been reading lots of fairytales this term.  Last week's big book was 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.  We wondered how the story might have changed if Jack had swapped his cow for something other than beans.  We brainstormed lots of different ideas and then began writing new stories. Click on the book below to read different endings.  We have 'Jack and the Magic Shoes', 'Jack and the Magic Carpet', 'Jack and the Magic Wand, and many more exciting twists to a well known story.

All About Me Posters

We have been finding out about each other.  Our 'All About Me' posters tell our class mates a few things about ourselves:- our favourite colour, food, sport and animal.  We have found out that many of us like the same things.  We are going to create a pictograph to share our findings. Keep an eye on our blog to see what we found out.

Our First Day Back

We had a super first day at school.  

Look at the cool sunglasses we made.  If you look at the pictures in the glasses you will see some of the highlights from the holidays.
