Today in English the children have been acting out our wishing tale ‘The Magic Porridge Pot’. After the superb performances the children in small groups devised questions they would ask the characters when we were hot seating. The children were great at using the question words and ensuring the questions were relevant to our story.

The Puffins had a fantastic afternoon reading with Year 4. Year 4 were great at listening and supporting the great readers in Year 1. Year 1 loved sharing their favourite stories for World Book Day.

The Puffin class have been working hard on their cold task read to start their talk for writing journey tale preparation tomorrow. Miss Coghlan loves to teach ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ – we hope the children will love it too!

Over the last few weeks Puffins class have worked hard on developing their writing skills focusing on capital letters and full stops for simple sentences. Miss Coghlan is very proud at the great progress they are making.

As part of our new English topic we are learning about instructions. Today puffins have learnt actions to a simple set of instructions and taught them to their partners to make pirate hats.

This week the children have finished putting together their amazing non-chronological reports on pirates. They have worked extremely hard to included all of the facts they have learnt and all the key features of a report. Well done puffins they look great! They are now proudly on display.

Puffins class have worked hard this morning researching for their non-chronological reports on pirates. They have been also having great fun exploring in our fantastic pirate role play to enhance their learning experiences.
