A Letter From a King

This week we read the traditional tale ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. After we had finished the story we were surprised to receive a letter from the King asking for our help. 

We had a class discussion debating whether Jack should be allowed to keep the money or if he should be made to pay it back.  We then wrote letters to the King explaining our thinking.

In history we continued learning about changes over time by focussing on toys. We looked at a selection of toys from the past and talked about how they were similar and different to toys we play with today. Next week, we will make our own toy from the past- a ball in a cup.

This week we have learnt the ‘ur’ sound (nurse with a purse).

There are words containing these sounds for the children to practise available on the Spelling Shed website: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

Miss Luetchford and Mrs Sharon 🙂
