"Oh no" said the boy. Here is a monster! He's got spooky eyes and furious teeth. By Sam O

Watch out James! A big bumpy monster which is like a sea dragon is behind you. It will gobble you up and spit you out. It will sneak up with his creepy eyes. The monster is really, really hungry. His eyes are yellow. By Daniel

Look out, watch out! The monster is grumpy. He is hungry for marshmallows and meat. I wonder if the monster is going to eat you up. He has ears like dragon wings. By Emily

A humongous monster is going to eat you! By Mac

Grr, grr... look watch out! There is a slimy monster behind you, it has sharp teeth and it's eyes are yellow and bright. Its body is fat and his arms are humungous. The monsters ears are pointy and black. The monster is getting closer...and closer...and closer!
By Mykaelah

Watch out, don't be about on a spooky night. The humongous monster is behind you. His head is like a marshmallow. It is a sea monster with eyes like burning fire. His teeth are like a vampires and his body is all bumpy. My Max

Our space adventures!

Today for writing we watched a short movie about a boy who made a space ship and went for an adventure.
After watching, we discussed where we would like to go in a rocket ship and who we might meet.

Super Duper Maths!



 
Today we used egg cartons to help us with our addition facts to 12 and 20.
 
 
First we shake... then we open and add!


 6+6= 12

We can line up our cars and trucks in order!

Mac drove the tidy numbers into his garage :)
