In Literacy this week we have used the story of Five Minutes' Peace by Jilly Murphy for our learning. For those of you who don't know the story, it is about a family of elephants called Mrs Large, Lester Large, Laura Large and the baby. Mrs Large wants five minutes' peace from the children but they won't leave her alone and make a lot of mess!
We pretended to be the elephants from the Large family and asked each other questions! Here were some of our questions (and some funny answers!)...
Who do you live with?
Where is Daddy elephant? In Australia!
How do you do? I do very well.
Do you like your sister?
Why are you so messy? We were just having breakfast!
Why are the children so unpleasant? Because they make such a mess!
Why did you join Mrs Large in the bath? I wanted to get in as well!
Tell your grown up...
What were toys made of in the past? What are they made of now?
What games did rich Victorian children play with? What did the poor children play with?
How are the toys from the past different to your modern toys?
Not only does Miss Little think we are brilliant at knowing the number bonds to 10, we now know number bonds to 20! Take a look at the bonds we found by using Numicon and using what we know about bonds to 10.
As a Christmas treat we went outside for a Bushcraft session!
What we liked most about it was really the snow machine and the hot chocolate!
We also got to see the school chickens and found that they had laid an egg!
