Today P2/1 tried something different at story time. We put on some trap/hip hop music in the background and rapped a story. It was tricky but fun! The children asked if we could do it again and put it on the blog so they could try it at home. Here is our second attempt.

Here is a reading challenge for you to do at home. Find a book that has a rhyming pattern that you have lying at home e.g. The Gruffalo, Rumble in the Jungle (anything that rhymes!) and read it following the beat to the hip hop track below! Give it a go. Now you are a reading rap star!

P2/1 enjoyed learning about African animals. The children used their observational skills, sketching skills and their knowledge of symmetry to complete these animal drawings. Well done P2/1, they’re fantastic!
