Last week our book of the week was the fairytale The Three Little Pigs. We read lots of different versions of this story and then talked about what we would make our dream house out of. Lots of people wanted to make a chocolate house so that they could eat the walls!!

Later in the week we made some houses of our own using junk modelling. We hope you enjoy looking at them.

This week we have been reading Mr Beast. It is about a boy called charlie who really loves doughnuts! So today in FS2D we decorated and ate doughnuts and biscuits. We used icing, sprinkles and fruit bits.

We thought the doughnuts were yummy! We hope we don’t turn into Mr Beast!!

Today at Oswald Road we celebrated language day. In FS2D we have been learning some words in Arabic.

We learnt the words for hello, thank you, goodbye, yes and no and played a detective game where we had to guess who said hello.

hello – Marhaban
Thank you – Shokran
Goodbye – Maa Salama
Yes – Naam
No – Laa

Below is a link to a website where you can learn some arabic words.
