Class 2's Trip to Bishop's Wood

Class 2 went to Bishops Wood on Friday. We were learning all about houses. We saw some wonderful willow structures and we spent some time playing in them. We sat in the teepee and looked up. You can see a photograph of what we saw. We visited the Saxon house and made some shelters for some little dolls. In the afternoon we made some houses from sticks in the woods and then some brick houses using mini bricks. We had a great day and learned a lot. Hope you enjoy looking at our photographs.

Baboushka

Today we read the Russian folk story about Baboushka. It was in Russian and English but we couldn't read the Russian! Baboushka was so busy cleaning she missed seeing the baby Jesus.

We worked together to sequence the pictures then we all had a go at writing the captions to go with the pictures. They looked really good when we displayed them on A3 paper.
