The boy who cried Baaaa!

Posted: May 11, 2018 by: Greg Hobson (GHobson) on: Class 1

This week, we have been exploring the tale of Woolf! Woolf is part sheep and part wolf! The children have been describing his features and working out how Woolf felt throughout the story.

Next week, we are going to try making our very own portmanteaus, mixing two words together to make a new one. Existing portmanteaus are part of our everyday language, such as podcast, motorcycle and Netflix, but we are hoping to get our imaginations going and create a hybrid character if you will, of two existing animals combined together! Just like Woolf! Wool and wolf!

This is a fantastic talking point to have at home this weekend, see what creatures class one can conjure up! We know about the bullfrog, horsefly and catfish, but what happens if we mix an elephant and a fox, or an antelope with a crocodile?

The homework available this week is as follows:

1.) Maths IXL Take a look at the division section AA.1- AA.3

2.) Phonics grid and wh poem.

Have a lovely weekend!
