Book Bug Bags

We were over the moon to receive our Book Bug bags today! To celebrate we read the start of one of the stories and then predicted what would happen at the end.

It would be great if you could read the three books with your child over the weekend so we can vote on our favourite on Monday.

Owl Babies

We have loved using the story Owl Babies to guide our learning the past two weeks. Today we concentrated on the different characters in the book. We then had a go at creating our own. Don’t they look great!?

told us that they are all different sizes.

told us the mummy was a different colour from the babies.

Good job everyone!

Owl Babies

As part of our focus this week we are looking at the story Owl Babies.

We talked about why the babies miss their mummy and how they feel. We then talked about who makes us feel safe and who our favourite people are. We then created some beautiful cards for our special people.

Some children wrote independently using their sounds! Well done!

Literacy

Today in literacy we were looking at how we connect ourselves to the story. We looked at the story ‘We’re all Wonders’ and thought about all the ordinary things Auggie could do and what we could do too. We went outside and took pictures of what we could do.

We were able to say what an author was and talked about illustrators. We also talked about the word wonder being like the word wonderful and that it was a good thing. We also spoke about the word ordinary.

The Rainbow Fish

Today we read the story ‘The Rainbow Fish’ by Marcus Pfister. Rhys told us that an author is the person who writes the book and Lacie M told us an illustrator draws the pictures.

We then did some art by creating our own rainbow fish with tissue paper and tin foil!

 

Literacy

Fostering a love of reading this morning was on the agenda.

We loved exploring our new reading area and then we used our picture books to do a book treasure hunt.

Through this, we discovered lots of new stories we would like to read as a class!
