Journey to Magical Lands

I am sure you have by now heard your child talk about the book, 'The Magic Faraway Tree' by Enid Blyton and the wonderful characters. It is the first time that I have read them a chapter book, I started with the 'The Enchanted Wood" and they have become engrossed with the concept of the Faraway Tree that takes them to magical lands. 

A couple of weeks ago they had to draw their own Faraway Tree. 

Note the ladders in their drawings that take them up far away. 

Lexie's drawing. 

Bryn's drawing. 

You can see here some of the characters living in the Tree.

 On Friday they had to design their own Land. You will see these drawings when their Topic book comes home next week. 

Today for PE the children were introduced to Tennis by Liz Hooker.

It seems to be a birthday week in Room 1, with Hannah today, Ruby tomorrow and Simon on Thursday. 

Do remember the Dress up day on Friday and gift giving for St Vincent de Paul.
