We started reading “The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe” today and the children were very excited to be able to say exactly what “…they were sent away from London during the war…” meant, and when. They looked very colourful in their red, white and blue; and enjoyed the celebration in the morning.
We are starting to plan our version of “Weslandia”, a book full of creativity which the children have really got immersed in. They are also continuing to enjoy “The Firework Maker’s Daughter” which is great for vocabulary development and is a great adventure to follow. “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” is our new class reader. We have a set of 15 books so the children can follow my reading out loud. If your child would like to bring a copy of their own, too , so more children have an individual copy to follow along with, then that would be fine. This is just an option, if your child would like to.
Mrs Newman is teaching the children some lovely cheerful summer songs on the ukelele; and this morning they were “shaking it off” in Taylor Swift style. The children have also been told to look out for the Electric Umbrella choir on “Britain’s Got Talent”. In June we will be joining Electric Umbrella at St Albans Cathedral for a special school concert (during the school day) and we have got lots of words to learn, which I will soon send home.
I hope you all have a relaxing weekend and that there is more sun than recently!
