In English this week year 1 have continued learning the narrative “The three wishes”.

On Monday we generated some questions that we would like to ask the characters.  On Wednesday we used the hot seating method to ask questions to one of the pupils that had taken on the role of the fairy or the woodcutter. We really enjoyed this lesson. We had to think carefully before answering to ensure that we stayed in character.

We were visited by Kris from the ActOnInfo group who delivered a drama workshop about The Great Fire of London. Everyone had a great time using their bodies to make different buildings and objects. Kris then read us the recount of the fire and each person had a turn in acting it out in the middle of the circle. We also have a go at hot seating Samuel Pepys! ]Thanks for coming to visit us Kris!

A trip to the woods

This week we started the week with an adventure!
As part of our Hook day for our narrative unit we took a trip to the woods as there had been reports of some unusual items in there. 
We found the following;

We were trying to think of a reason as to why and how these items appeared in our woods. When we read the story of The Three Wishes we realised that we must have been visited by a woodcutter and a fairy. These items have now become props to help us with our story retelling.

Stay tuned... pieces of work coming your way!
