Class information

Hi, my name is Cosgrove and I am a cuddly bear. .

Every Friday I sneak into a bag in the hopes of joining one of the children for the weekend.  I am a great guest as I am snuggly, quiet and will eat almost anything.  I am partial to biscuits so it is probably best if you hide them up high in a  cupboard.  I travel with few possessions, even though Miss Foster has promised to make me some pyjamas.  If you would like to add something for the next sleepover, I would be very appreciative (ie a toothbrush)

Weekly blog

 5th June 2026
This week in Gunwalloe we have enjoyed reading 'Sticky Jam' The story of sugar.  We have learnt about sugar cane and the process that it goes through to become the sugar that we can find in our supermarkets.  We have created a zig zag book using pictures to show each stage of it's journey. We then looked at how jam was made and has a quick taste of Miss Foster's strawberry jam - yum! In Literacy we have been updating our bean diaries and working on the phoneme 'ur'.  Part and whole numbers have been a focus in maths where we have been recording using whole/part model diagrams.  Lots of gluey hands this week as we start a new project using our papier mache skills alongside painting frames for our shadow animals.  In Vipers we have started to read 'The Boy and the Pangolin' before looking at facts about pangolins using our large interactive whiteboard to watch amazing videos of pangolins in the wild.
