3. Choose autumn

4. Choose autum under paint projects

5. Carry out the task (create an autumn picture and write a sentence using adjectives to go with it)

Jack and the Beanstalk

We have been extremely lucky this morning. Mr Humphreys has been doing work on Jack and the Beanstalk with us. We have been doing role play, some of us have been mum and others Jack. We have written in the first person about what happened when Jack woke up. We imagined we were Jack in the story. 

Literacy

Today we received a letter from Jack. He told us that he has a problem that needs solving. He needs to find a way to get the giant back up the beanstalk and would like Dosbarth Gwyrdd to help him come up with a solution. What are your ideas boys and girls? 

We have been learning about how a letter is set out and have been re building mixed up letters so that they make sense. To do this we have used the iPads. 

Some of us have also been making our own envelopes. 

We have had such fun today!
