world book day

This past week we enjoyed the book 'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell. The children loved retelling the story, and we had a go at rewriting the book with different animals, thinking of words to describe them.
On Wednesday we had a super morning with year 2, making masks and acting out the story, and writing.
Then on Thursday we really enjoyed a drama session with Victoria from debutots.
All the children who took part in these activities did really well and joined in with great enthusiasm.

This week we are celebrating world book day, and are going to take part in the 'Big book off challenge' we plan to complete at least one challenge from each category of the challenge. The categories are,
create
imagine
explore
discover
experience
and the activities include stories with puppets, poems, 10 things i can see in an illustration, talking about the library and many more.

So, as a group the children's next steps will be thinking about stories, how they end, suggesting different endings and discovering information through print.
Next steps for number will be more activities using numicon.

JIGSAW, in our busy week last week we still found time at snack  to talk about healthy options. We will continue that this week and we will also think about how moving in play, dance, exercise etc are healthy choices.
