Crew MW absolutely love going to the library, even more so when we decide to get comfy on the cushions and read a festive story with the lights off!

Reading Reindeers 🎅⛄️🎄
Today we have made festive bookmarks to use over the Christmas Holidays in our favourite books 📚
Who is the imposter? 🔍
In our reading lesson, we have been reading the poem “‘Twas the night before Christmas”. In our book talk lessons, we noticed that each line in the poem ends in a rhyming word for example “house” and “mouse”. As a Do Now task, we played a game of imposter. We had to find our rhyming pair. Hidden in the words was an odd one out. Luckily, we found it! 🌟🔍📚

Posting to the gingerbread man 💌
In today’s writing lesson we read where the postman delivered his christmas mail to next, it was to a red tin house that was tiny. It belonged to a gingerbread man. We created our own gingerbread men and then looked at the book that the postman delivered him. We loved reading the story that the postman had posted and then enjoyed a cup of tea and mini mince pie.
Another busy day as postman in Crew Marsh and luckily it was our last.
The jollypostman posting to baby bear
Today in Y1 we started our christmas writing by reading the christmas jollypostman. He firstly delivered a christmas card to baby bear at the three bears house, we therefore decorated our own card for baby bear and then delivered it to their house. We noticed Mummy bear decorating a christmas tree and enjoyed some warm, delicious porridge.
Predicting our reading for the week 📚
During book talk, we were given some clues to infer from. We had a silent conversation to explore what we thought about the clues given. Clue number one was a photo of a clip board with the writing ‘Loteria de Navidad’. Many of us knew the word ‘Navidad’ meant ‘Christmas’ in Spanish but we are unsure how this links with the other photo clues. Tomorrow, we will find out more about the reading for this week… the children are intrigued to learn more!
Book Talk
This week we have started reading the poem “‘Twas the night before Christmas”. The children have really enjoyed looking deeper into this poem and text marking the important information. We have picked out words and phrases that we didn’t understand, for example “visions of sugarplums danced in their head” and “the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow”. We are excited to read the rest of the poem.
A white mouse with a house..
In our experience lesson we each made a mouse so we could put it in our shoe for their new house just like in the story The Smartest Giant in town. We loved reading this book again and found it funny that George the giant had to hop away because he has given one of his shoes.
Christmas Writing – The Jolly Christmas Postman
Today we started our Christmas writing by watching the story of The Jolly Postman. Henry realised straight away that in the book the postman visited famous characters from other traditional tales. We then talked about what kinds of things the postman would deliver to your house at Christmas time including gifts and cards. In the Jolly Christmas Postman the first house he visits is the Three Bears so we made Christmas cards for Baby Bear.
