All children could explain why they had chosen their dress-up character and what was special about them. This experience was excellent motivation for writing and most of the children attempted to write 2 or 3 sentences with teacher support. So well done everyone!
The other exciting news from our room today is that our first butterfly has emerged from its chrysalis - and it's a girl! If you don't know how to tell the difference between a male and female monarch butterfly then ask your children. They are sure to know by now. We watched as it dried its wings and prepared to fly. Jamien was the lucky one to carry the butterfly outside as it flew onto his leg.
We have completed our short movies of Little Red Riding Hood and Brave Father Mouse. So now we will wait for Mrs Williams to return to school so she can show us how to load them onto this blog for you to watch.
