This week, Year 1 had a fantastic time diving into the book Puffin Peter by Petr Horáček. The children were captivated by the adventures of Peter, a little puffin searching for his friend.

As part of our lesson, the children practiced their neatest writing by describing puffins—focusing on their black and white feathers, their bright beaks, and their ability to swim and fly! The class also made wonderful predictions about what might happen next in the story, using clues from the pictures and text.

To add more fun, the children put themselves in the characters' shoes, imagining what Peter and the other animals might say. We had some brilliant ideas, with lots of creative dialogue shared with the class.

It was a brilliant way to bring the story to life while practicing our reading, writing, and predicting skills!
