Ahoy! Thar are pirates on th' loose! Be careful. These are mighty dangerous pirates...

English Stations

Juniors and Seniors hard at work this morning doing English Station. Today our stations were

1. Phonics
2. Tricky Words
3. IPads (children could retell the stories they wrote last week during Writers' Workshop using the Sock Puppets App)
4. Oxford Readers

Class Book

Today we began our brand new class novel, Mad Grandad and the Flying Saucer! We didn't get a chance to start reading it as we were too busy exploring the cover. After discussing the title, author and illustrator, we looked closely at the picture. We made some predictions and asked questions. Then we turned the book over and read the blurb at the back. This gave us more information about what the book is about. Everyone made a prediction about the book and wrote and drew it. 

The Travel Agents

We are busy planning our summer holidays in the Junior Room! Have a look at our travel agents role play area...

We are also going to do some art projects from around the world! This week we are making Chinese fans, including some Chinese writing! 

There are some cut and paste and writing activities based on our story "Where in the World Shall We Go?" when Kieran and Niamh go to the travel agents.

In the building area the children are constructing famous landmarks from around the world. The boys built the Empire State Building in America today!

More Fun in the Vets!
