Land of Fairytales 

Last term, we read The Three Little Pigs and thought about the types of materials that the pigs used to build their houses. We designed our own houses to keep the pigs safe and then built them using materials such as lego, straws and building blocks. Have a look at our creations! 

In Year 1, we read the story The Kissing Hand. Chester starts school and he is worried about leaving his Mum. The children enjoyed this story and made heart shaped jam sandwiches to represent the kindness and respect we have for each other in our classes.
