Autumn 1 Project
Pick a Puppet
The Year 1 children were invited to watch an amazing puppet show, telling the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Unfortunately Mrs Honey and Miss Jefferies had not made the puppets very well and they kept falling apart. The teachers have asked the children to design and make some new puppets to tell the story together.
Each half term we will add the new project once the children have experienced the Hook! This allows us to keep some suspense and excitement with new projects...
Home Learning
Project Vocabulary
During our project, we are looking to develop the children's understanding and use of a range of vocabulary that is crucial to our learning. Our aim is to teach the children this vocabulary so that they can explain what it means. They should also be able to use it in a range of contexts both at school and at home. The children should be able to use it verbally when they talk and also in their written work.
Please work with your child to develop their understanding of the definition of the word and to use this vocabulary with you at home.

Reading for Pleasure!
Each year, the website 'Books for Topics' creates a recommended book list that children in each year group would enjoy.
We have attached their ideas for this current school year.
