Year 1- The Gruffalo
Year 1 have been focusing on the story of The Gruffalo in their English lessons. We have been working on a story map in pictures to help us recall the story and we’ve been describing the character of the Gruffalo. We can’t wait to post a video of us telling the story when we’ve finished our whole story map! We have also played a ‘roll and draw’ game in our continuous provision time against a partner showing super turn taking and understanding of the Gruffalo’s characteristics.
Year 1- Poppy Collages

This week in continuous provision, they have independently applied these skills to create their own poppy collages ready for Remembrance Day next week.
