We have really enjoyed learning about pirates in Reception; we have found out all sorts of information about pirates and how they live and behave in stories. We can talk like pirates and we can sing like pirates. We have made up some brilliant new stories about pirates too. We made story maps so we could tell the stories in the correct order and we acted them, did puppet shows of them and wrote them in books or with I.C.T.
We have got better at using positional language by folllowing maps and looking for treasure too.
We got quite interested in seagulls (because they kept landing on our roof!) and parrots last week. So we compared them to see how they were the same and how they were different. We spit into two research teams to use books and computers to find out more about them. Then we shared our new facts with the rest of the class.
We were very excited to have a parrot to visit us on Friday.

We have begun our new topic of Chocolate with gusto in Year 3. We are learning the history of chocolate and about its origins.
The children are enjoying discovering characters in our story, Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and imagining their own inventions to be considered by Willy Wonka!
