In Wibbly's Garden!

We all enjoyed meeting Wibbly Pig again and 'In Wibbly's Garden' there was a BIG surprise waiting for Wibbly - and for us!

Maisy - "Wibbly Pig couldn't find Pigley"

Esme - "I think he's hiding under the tree!" 

The children loved lifting the flaps to reveal who or what was hiding there!

Felicity predicted what Wibbly might do with his bean - 

Felicity - "He's going to plant a beanstalk - make a little hole, put the bean inside it and you put water in and it grows and grows and grows!"

We met a hen as Wibbly climbed up the beanstalk - Bailey suggested it might belong to Kipper!

Several children tried to guess what would be hidden behind the clouds . . . 

Harley - "There might be a giant in there! - because giants live up there - the beanstalk"

Ember - "I think it's going to be a big, big, giant! Because I saw Jack and the Beanstalk"

Alfie - "I think it's going to be a big house - cause at the top of the beanstalk, I've got Jack and the Beanstalk"

Reece thought there might be a dragon, and Violet said it would be a castle!

Felicity - "It's just like Jack and the Beanstalk!"

Jessica - "I liked the castle, because it was so big!"

We thought the giant looked nice and friendly!

Lexie-Mai - "The giant said 'Where's my chicken?"

Lottie - "I liked it when the giant said 'Where's my chicken?' And I liked the beanstalk!"

The magic hen had a golden egg - and Pigley!

Alisha - "My favourite part was the giant!"

Sam - "I likeded the giant too - because the giant lost his magic hen and he found it"

Felicity - "I liked the giant 'cause he had a gold egg for Wibbly Pig - a magic egg!"

Wibbly Pig and Pigley were re-united, and Wibbly also got to keep the golden egg!

Thomas H - "I liked it when Pigley had the golden  egg in the car"

Oliver E - "I liked it when the giant said 'Goodbye' to Wibbly Pig"

Noah - "I liked it when Wibbly drove his car away with the golden egg and the giant said 'Bye' !"

We wondered where Wibbly Pig might go next - what do you think?

Willow class has - Amazing Brilliant Children!

Well done James!

Today James brought in a 'Judith Kerr' book called 'Mogs Amazing Birthday Caper'.
James had found this book at the library :-)

The children really enjoyed reading it as its a bit different from the others. Every page has most of the words on from a letter of the alphabet and the story runs in alphabetical order. This must have been very difficult for the author to do!

Thanks James - a great find!

Thank you to Amelia too who brought in a Judith Kerr book we shared a couple of weeks ago, 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea', its great that you enjoy reading it at home too Amelia!

Lullabyhullaballoo!

We have been reading another book by Mick Inkpen - this one had a great title - Lullabyhullaballoo!

The sun is down. The moon is up. It is bedtime for the Little Princess.

But outside the castle . . . 

Bailey - "Everybody's being noisy!"

Harley - "The dragon roared and gets his fire out"

Jessica - "I liked because the dragon made the noise!"

Lexie-Mai - "The ghost was making a noise - a ghost sound!"

Georgia - "The giant was making a stompy noise and he said 

'Shall I take my shoes off?'!"

Evan W - "He's hungry" (the giant) "Because he hasn't ate anything yet!"

Gethin - "The giant makes a noise in his shoes!"

Ruby - "He's got to take off his boots!"

Georgia - "The knights were making clanking noises!"

Alfie - "The knights were rattling!"

We all enjoyed joining in with the repetative text - 'What shall we do? We'll tell them to SSSH! That's what we'll do. SSSH!'

Alisha - "The trolls were eating very loudly and the Princess said 'SSSH'!"

Harley - "I liked the trolls burping!"

Lottie - "The Princess was going in her castle and she was crying 'cause they waked her up!"

Noah - "She woke up and she was crying and crying!"

Everyone joined in together to sing the Princess a lullaby - finally she fell asleep - but then she began snoring!

What shall we do?

Archie - "When she was screaming they had to sing her a lullaby"

Jessica - "The Princess has gone to sleep"

Jacob - "The Princess was sleeping - she snored!"

Milena - "That was a long story!"

Noah - "That was a nice story!"

We hope you have plenty of peace and quiet when you are trying to get to sleep!

Thank you Isaac in Willow Class!

Unlike the Cat in our story - Isaac was not at all forgetful! He remembered that we have started looking at a new Author - Judith Kerr and brought us in an 'Audio book' called 'Mog the Forgetful Cat'.

The children really enjoyed listening to this audio book!

Isaac's favourite part was when Mog scared the robber!

If anyone else has a Judith Kerr story we would love you to bring it to school so we can share it with the class.

Well done Isaac!

Look out for Judith Kerr books Willow Class!

This week Willow Children were introduced to another author - Judith Kerr.  She has written some very well known stories such as the 'Mog' the cat books.
Today we read one of Miss Quinn's favourites - 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea'.
We loved it so much we read it two times!!!







Jake's favourite part was when the Tiger ate all of the food in the entire house!





Miley's favourite part was the ending when they all went out for tea at the cafe - they had sausages and chips! Yum Yum!



Look out for Judith Kerr books Willow Class - bring any others you find into school so we can share a story with the class :-)
