And there goes the first half of the summer term!
The past six weeks have gone by very quickly and Hedgehog Class has been very happy. I always enjoy the smiley greetings the children give me each morning, and adults around the school keep commenting on what a happy smiley bunch they are at the moment. It's lovely.
This week, several things happened in our story.
The villagers/travellers were travelling down a woodland path...
Next, they travelled down the path talking about what they were doing - some where sneaking, others were strolling and others were skipping!
Unfortunately, they met a large, grumpy troll on the way. They had to decide how to get past it. After some discussions, most children chose to duck, sneak and hide in the bushes. A few children decided to talk to the troll. This was tense, but they managed to get past by feeding the troll food from their bags.
The next day Queen Matilda needed their help to find out what lay beyond the woodland path. The children travelled north, south, east and west to explore the geographical features. The Queen explained that, to build a castle, she needed a location with a hill, fresh water, pastures and a woodland. The children created maps showing what they had found:
They presented their findings to the Queen, who said she would consider where the best location for a castle might be.
I hope you all have a very good half term. I am not setting any homework because the children, and you, deserve a break from it! However, please do keep reading to and with your child. They should have come home with several books in their bags, and I have also put more books on each child's Rising Stars account.
See you after half term!
