 We arrived in class to find that there were paintings on our classroom walls. The children discussed how it could have happened and why, which led onto talking about things the children had done in the past that were mischievous.  The children then did their own paintings on the wall and named their animals, remembering capital letters for the start of it's name. 

 The children have been getting stuck into our new book- The Extraordinary Gardener this week. Before reading the story, we used our inference and thought about why the character might be extraordinary. The children decided it must be because of all the unusual creatures and plants growing on the front cover. They didn't think that a child gardening was extraordinary as they all enjoy gardening themselves. In the story, Joe is very creative and creates all sorts of interesting creatures and plants to make the world more exciting. The children have created their own plants and creatures with extraordinary features using various different material. They then wrote about their features and what species they are.
