What have we recently been up to in our class?

Hello,

We have had a very busy time since our class assembly update so we thought we would tell you about our favourite bits!
We all enjoyed learning about St. George's Day. We listened to the story about how St. George saved the princess from the dragon. The dragon was going to eat her! We especially liked playing with the castle and retelling the story using the little wooden figures. We all made England flags and carefully coloured and collaged a dragon. Our flags and dragons were used to decorate our classroom door. Mrs. Beadle made our door look really special and we were lucky enough to win the competition for the best door. Our prize was some fantastic writing pencils with little erasers on the end. Thank you, Mr. Lee!
We have started learning about flowering plants and plant growth. We have enjoyed listening to lots of stories that have plants in them such as 'Jack and the Beanstalk', 'The Tiny Seed', 'Jasper's Beanstalk', 'Ten Tiny Seeds' 'The Enormous Turnip' and many more! We all planted a sunflower seed and started keeping a 'Sunflower Seed Diary'. We took some of our sunflower seeds home so that we could watch them grow at home and at school. We are very pleased with ourselves as we know what the word germinate means!
Next week we are going to find out how our fruits and vegetables grow and where they come from. (Not from Sainsburys and Tescos stores as most of us think at the moment!) This will link in with our work on farming. Some of the stories that we will be reading will be about fruits and vegetables. 'Oliver's Vegetables', 'Oliver's Fruit Salad', 'I don't like Peas!' and many more.
We won't leave it so long before we'll be back as we have lots of exciting things happening before we reach half term.
Take care!
