Mrs Crowther certainly has had us doing some strange things during the last week. She gave us all a bunch of mirrors and got us to use them to try and write backwards. Who would think a mirror could help us to write secret codes. Then she dragged us all outside to make us try and follow the trail…

This week we have been acting out the roles of our favourite characters from ‘The Three Little Pigs’.  We have been focusing on their speaking parts, and we have found them by looking out for speech marks in the book. Then using our role play masks we have…

They set to the task with enthusiasm, having first investigated moving monsters,…
