Love is a warm puppy!   Two of the little girls in my class have recently each acquired a dachshund puppy.   These little cuties co-incidentally came from the same litter.   I was delighted to be introduced to the two cuddly bundles last week.

The most important thing we learn in Grade 1 is Reading.   If we don’t grasp this skill all other learning will be seriously compromised.   Everything possible is done to improve our reading and writing vocabulary.   A good way to revise our reading words is to work on cards based on our Reading Scheme.

Here are the girls busily working at their tasks.

 

We seem to have lots of May and June birthdays and we had another birthday girl on Friday!   And wow were we spoilt – a party pack each and the most beautiful cup cakes!   Luckily it was Friday and P.E. for the last part of the day so the sugar high was worked off before home time!

Things are as busy as ever at school.  The older children are busy rehearsing for their Pantomime – Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.  As I am the prompt I know its going to be good – so if you haven’t got your tickets – don’t delay and don’t miss out on this hilarious take on an old favourite.
