Today, we had a visit from Little Red Riding Hood's Granny. She said she had spotted the wolf in school! We went on a wolf hunt to find him and help Granny get her cakes back. We found lots of clues but we didn't see the wolf. We wrote to Granny to say thank you for her visit and to let her know we had a letter from the police to say the wolf had been caught red handed!

We read the little book of Greta Thunberg and found out how she protested about climate change every Friday instead of going to school. We discovered that children all over the world joined her protest. We decided to create our own protest signs and attached them to our dolls of the world. Some children created the building she sat outside of, which was full of important people.

We have had lots of fun exploring number pairs to 10 today at our 'Number Bonds Party'. For our Math's Challenge this week, we made our own hats representing number pairs to 10 in different ways. Today, we wore our creations and each had a number from 0 to 10. We danced to music and when the music stopped we found our partner to make 10. We enjoyed singing our number pairs song to help us remember number pairs to make 10.

We have had another fabulous week exploring Space. This week, we focused on the story "Goldilocks in Space." We explored the knew planets in the book and talked about how they were both similar and different to Earth. We looked at the aliens in the story and had fun discussing what aliens might look like. We even had an alien visit our classrooms and write to us! We designed our own aliens and made them out of clay.
