Where has the time gone?

Wow it's been nearly 2 months since my last post and much has happened. We had our annual Christmas Concert and prize giving. We had a lovely Christmas vacation of 3 weeks. Lovely hot weather, a visit from the American family and myd her brother and partner. The weeks just flew by and sooo it was back to school time!
I decided to go with a superhero theme this year and thanks to twinkl and all those lovely teachers that pin on pinterest I have some lovely charts and desk labels.I made the superheroes to look like my children and put each child's initials on the round label in the front so they all had to find which one they were.
We are now into week three and I cannot believe how little the children read - is it that they are lazy? the work is too advanced? or have they just not been taught how to read instructions? So this week I am concentrating on making them READ instructions not listen to Instructions - Lots of anchor charts are the order of the day!I will let you know how it goes!
Reading other blogs I noticed a lot of 100 day activities - still so far away for us!
