Comparing books

We read two fantastic books by the same author and the same illustrator in class today.

We really enjoyed The Gruffalo's Child and The Smartest Giant in Town

both written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

We used Venn Diagrams to compare and contrast the two books.

We put the things that they had in common into the middle of the two circles and we put the things that belonged in only one book into the piece of the circle that didn't overlap with another circle.

We even chose our favourite of the two books.

The Gruffalo's child was the more popular of the two books.

We love reading!

Christmas stories

 We are reading lots of lovely Christmas stories in class.

 

If teacher runs out of nice Christmas books she will borrow more at Ballybane Library.

Making CVC words

We really enjoyed writing CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words today.

When we finish a word, teacher checks it, we can wipe it out and take a new word.

We are learning to spell lots of words.

Visiting our school library

Today we went to visit our school library.  We enjoyed picking our own books.

We had time to read our books, and we chose ones to take home with us.

We are going to visit the library every week from now on.
