Brownie

Yesterday we got our dog he’s a cocker spaniel and his name is Brownie. He’s fluffy and loves cuddles when we run he jumps up at us and when we go on the sofa he jumps up but because he’s so small he cant get up. He  loves  chewing mums toes and he comes and licks us on the face. He has long curly, floppy ears and beautiful  puppy dog eyes. He has a wet, shiny, black, slobbery nose   He sleeps in kitchen he’s really cute.

We are very lucky to have him.

 

Badgers first week back

Hello Badger fans,

We are back and want to share with you our first week in year3!

On Tuesday, we met our new teacher for year 3 for only the second time. Her name is Miss Pennington and she is lovely, we have had a wonderful first week with her.

Our classroom is completely different to how it was before the summer. It now has an interactive whiteboard, display walls, pegs for our coats, places for our lunch boxes and a visual daily routine chart.

We have a new child called Alex and everyone has made him very welcome. His favourite things are football and basketball. Alex says he really likes being in Badgers, as everyone is really nice.

Miss Pennington made us play a game with toilet paper on our first day!
We got to decorate our Maths books with all the numbers that are important to us. We have all been practising our handwriting after our long summer, which is a little tricky to get back into.

We have learnt a fun word game called Boggle, it is where you have 16 letters and you make as many words as you can. We also then share our words with others. We challenge ourselves to find 6 or 7 letter words.

We have also been playing word games with that involve VCOP, which stands for

V: Vocabulary

C: Connectives

O:Openers

P:Punctuation

Mrs Randell came in and chatted to us about starting to play the recorder. We are all extremely excited to learn a new instrument.

Our first extended writing was about a picture of a beautiful tulip field, Toby said that the clouds looked like candy floss. WOW descriptive words used.

On Friday we got to do P.E with Mr Groves, we did lots of multi skill games including: grapes, treasure and sticky bits.

In golden time we had it in Owls class, we played lots of games. Hattie played Guess Who with Yasmin, Gracie and Lily, it was really good fun.

We are looking forward to the the new week.

Till the next time

We went swimming in the pool a lot and there was a great water slide, we also went on some paddle boats in the pool, the teacher was pushing our boats and splashing us and throwing stuff at us, it was fun. I threw stuff back at him and bashed him and we laughed.

On Friday

On Friday I went to Sophie’s  house . The first thing we did was watch T.V. We watched Tom and Jerry. Then we had lunch, we had pasta. Then we went in Sophie’s big pool it’s as big as my front room! We played pairs in the water, there was a picture of an animal from under the sea and we pick one up and try and find the other one. Then we played try and get round the whole circle without breathing that was fun .Then we got out and got our clothes on. Teddy Sophie’s cat  brought in a lizard, we tried to get him in the box and it took a long time but we got her in. Her name was Lizzie Sophie Issy  Lauren Ford. We looked at her and some of her tail had come off but that doesn’t matter because when they’re babyies their tails come off and they grow back. I took it home it was very smelly because she had done a poo in the box! I didn’t  want to get it out of the box because it was too smelly so mum did it.

That was an exciting day.

My  mum brought some yummy ice cream it was nice, it had chocolate caramel and marshmallows in it. Then George’s dad came to pick him up at 6pm. We hid under my brothers bunk beds behind the shoe drawer which was a great hiding place, they found us though.

Busy…..but lovely Lyme Regis!

Me,Mummy,Daddy and Ellis went to Lyme Regis.It took ages to find a place to park the car near the seafront.In the end we parked in a quiet road where a few other cars were parked.When we got out of the car we grabbed the picnic basket and went to find a place to have a picnic.The sun was shining but when the wind blew it was quite cold so I borrowed Mummy’s cardigan.We found somewhere to have our picnic by a nice stream. Once we finished the picnic Daddy walked to the car to put the picnic away.

Then we walked to the beach.I prefer pebbly beaches more than sandy beaches so we stayed on the pebbles.Ellis threw loads of pebbles at the beach.Me and Ellis then sat down on the pebbles and waited for the waves to soak our feet.One wave got half way up my leg……… luckily I had rolled up my leggings to my knees.That day there was a fete on so we got up from the beach and went to the fete.On the way there was a man balancing stones on  other stones.That was cool.There was a paper mache looking monster as well  Ellis pretended to brush its teeth.
