Isabella's School Days

End of term

We are getting near the end of term and in September I will be in year one. That means I will have to go to assembly every day. I have learned a lot in my first year and I am reading the yellow books now. Mummy and Daddy have been very pleased with my reading. We have got a lot of things happening at the moment, and we even got to dress up in our own clothes for one day. Last week I fell over when I was skipping in the playground and I hurt my knee. The people in the office put a plaster on it. It stayed there until after my swimming lesson, when Daddy pulled it off.

New uniform

We went back to school this week after two weeks off. Now I get to wear my summer dresses for school but I spilt orange juice down it on the first day so Mummy had to wash it. I got two new reading books this week and my teacher said I had done realy well at reading. If I don't know what a word is I sound it out. Sometimes I just guess what it says but Mummy and Daddy always tell me to read it properly. I have started going to a new club on Fridays and I have made lots of new friends there.

World Book Day

It was world book day at my school yesterday. I went as the Cat in the Hat. I had a long black tale and a big red and white hat which I wore all the way to school. All my friends dressed up as well. There were lots of princesses, a fat controller and a *** Whittington. It was really good.

Lessons

We don't do many lessons. Only PE. Yesterday we did lunging and lurching. We spend a lot of our time reading books and learning with numbers. Our teacher has told us how to count in twos and tens.

New term stress

Isabella was five just before Christmas and with that she was able to go up to the big playground. Unfortunately, with the new intake in January, she was a bit overwhelmed by the changes and didn't want to go to school. However, with the help of her excellent teacher, she is back to her normal self and enjoying her lessons again. Isabella's daddy

Sets in class

We get set in our class for how well we are doing. There are three sets. One for girls, one for boys and one for those whose name begins with I.

Playground games

We have a game called chicken goose and to play it we link arms and go around the playground saying "who wants to play chicken goose?" When everyone has linked up, thats the end of the game. We have another one called stuck in the mud and in that one we have to have our arms around each others shoulders. They are really good games

Beetle, bugs, butterflies and other lessons

I learned about insects and bugs at school. Some of them have a nasty bite and can pinch you because they are protecting the other bugs. I am learning my keywords like all, some and come but I haven't got the fifth set yet. I get to take a maths game home each week and this time it was ten green bottles. Me and Mummy had to turn over cards and put them on the bottles in sequence, until we had them all covered from one to ten. I woke up one night after a bad dream and Daddy told me the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. When the troll was knocked into the water, Daddy said the goats could cross the bridge whenever they liked. I said the people would not have to worry either and Daddy told me not to worry, so I went back to sleep.

My first blog!

My name is Isabella and I am four and three quarters.

I started school in September and September begins with a Se.

I play with Peter, and that begins with a Pe.

I do colouring and drawings and I do lots of things and I do story choices and read books with my friends.

I have been the calendar girl so I get to put the date on the chart.

I have to tell Daddy two things I have done each day and one day my two things were that I played with Peter and Peter played with me.

Aaron always plays with me, and that begins with A.

My lessons are about learning things in sequence.

I am learning my key words and I have learned to count to 20.

Diana is in my friendship circle, which is where I meet up with other children in different years in the school.

Sarah is in my friendship circle as well.

We learned about fireworks and when a sparkler goes out, you must put it in a bucket of water.

I have been ill two times and Mummy kept me at home.
