We\u2019ve had another great day with a very funny story! Today we read the story of Inch and Grub, two friends who try to outdo each other with their bigger houses and advancing technology until they see the error of their ways and see life was better when they lived in their caves and were friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning we looked at some cave paintings and then we tried our own. We used sandpaper as it felt like a little like stone, and carefully drew around some animals. We talked about how cavemen couldn\u2019t pop to the shops or order paint from Amazon – they had to make their own! So we collected some dirt from our school garden, ground it up and removed the stones. We added water to get it to the right consistency. We then cheated a little by adding a little bit of red paint to get the colour we wanted. <\/span><\/p>\n

First we painted our animal and then we used a template of our hands to draw around the outside. They worked really well, and was only a little messy!<\/span><\/p>\n

This afternoon we looked again at Inch and Grub\u2019s wobbly towers of belongings. We talked about building towers and got the foam bricks out. \u00a0We worked in groups of four and then all together to build the tallest and sturdiest tower. We worked hard to take turns and pretended we were on a real building site!<\/span><\/p>\n

This afternoon in circle time we talked about how we could put things right if we fall out with our friends, like Inch and Grub did. We talked about being respectful, sharing and saying sorry. <\/span><\/p>\n
