The world according to Humphrey

Chapter Two

Today we read the second chapter of our book. In it we found out more about Mrs Brisbane. What she is like and how she teaches. She also left Humphrey in school over night. Would you like to be left alone in your classroom after every one has gone? Luckily Humphrey found a new friend in the caretaker called Aldo Amarto, who shared his dinner with Humphrey.

Create your own superhero

In our literacy we have been looking at the qualities of heroes. We had to describe and create our own hero. Many of the children created a new superhero. So we looked at the marvel comic site and we were able to produce our own superhero using their template.
Have a go at creating a new one at

Je m'appelle funny bear

These are the words for the song "My name is Funny Bear." Try to put your name into the song and you will be saying in French "My name is ________."

The world according to Humphrey

Today we started our reader, "The world according to Humphrey," by Betty G Birney.

We read the first chapter which introduced us to Humphrey, Ms Mac and Mrs Brisbane. We found out that Humphrey loved Ms Mac because she took him on a number of adventures. Mrs Brisbane doesn't like hamsters. So Humphrey promised himself that he would escape.

Maybe you could create a folder or factfile about the author. Her books, hobbies, how she writes or even write a story about Humphrey in our class. You could even send that story to her!

Place Value

Today in our maths lesson we looked at splitting numbers into HTU. We took 252 and we broke it into 200+50+2. We spotted where the hundreds were and identified the value of the tens and the units. We also played a place value game which you can find here.
