We rounded off our Julia Donaldson theme this week by reviewing our favourite books written by her. Superworm and Tyrannosaurus Drip were the most popular, closely followed by The Gruffalo and The Flying Bath. How many characters can you spot in our class display?

Year 2 used the app 'Book Creator' on the ipads to make a book all about Julia Donaldson.

As last weekend was the Buddhist festival of Vesak, the children listened to the story of Buddha and practised their origami skills by making lotus flowers. Later on in the week. year 1 made clay models of Buddha, lotus flowers and the Eightfold Path wheels.

Mrs Rowland and I had a go too!

In phonics we used a Kagan Structure game called 'give one, get one' which encourages collaborative and independent learning.

 

Finally, just to remind you that the home learning task is 'Performance Poetry' - to learn and practise a poem or rhyme. Remember you can add actions or props. Take  a look at Class 3's blog for inspiration! 

Well done Class 2 for all your hard work and great learning.

Have a fantastic break.
