Whittonstall First School - Where Every Child Matters

 We have been learning about buildings and homes in our topic about 'The Three Little Pigs'

Bradley's Grandmere visited us and taught us a French song. 

 It is sung to the tune of 'In a Cottage in a Wood'. Here are the words:-

 

Dans sa maison un grand cerf

Regarde par la fenetre

Un lapin venir a lui

Et frapper ainsi

Cerf! Cerf! Ouvre moi!

Ou le chasseur me tuera

Lapin, lapin, entre et viens

Me server la main.

 

On each Wednesday afternoon last half term we had visits from Julia who is a gymnastics expert - we called her the 'rolly polly lady'!

RETURN TO CLASS PAGES

 

This term we have been very busy settling in to our new class. We have been learning all sorts of different things, especially about 'The Three Little Pigs'.

At the moment we are starting to get ready for Christmas, so watch this space for photographs of our celebrations!

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some pictures of us in the Foundation Unit when we are hard at work.

   

Earlier in the term we went blackberry picking down the lane near to the school. 

When we came back to school we baked some blackberry buns - they were absolutely delicious!!
