Reading cafe

Yesterday, we held our Reading Cafe. 

We began the afternoon by sharing the story of Jaspers Beanstalk.

We then set to work planting our own broad beans. 

We then decorated our own card castles.

These were added to our pots. 

We will look after our beans and help them to grow. The aim is to grow then up to and beyond our castle.

We also enjoyed some other Jack and the beanstalk themed activities including playdough, dusting stories and playing games.

A big thank you to the helpers who offered to have other children in their group too.

World book day celebrations

We really enjoyed dressing up as some of our favourite characters from our favourite books. We shared our costumes and talked about the different characters we had come dressed as.

Mrs Hough, Mrs Harrison and Mrs Snowdon dressed up as some of the characters from 'The tiger who came to tea'. 

Mrs Hough came as Sophie, the little girl.

Mrs Snodon came dressed as Sophie's Mummy.

And Mrs Harrison came as the tiger!

We enjoyed listening to the story and remembered parts of it as we had recently been to watch it at the theatre. We then enjoyed a range of tiger themed activities:

We enjoyed listening to the story of 'The tiger who came to tea' on the listening centre:

And of course, we enjoyed reading, sharing and listening to a whole range of stories and books.

Miss Yates came to read a story to us too. She was dressed as Supertato and she read the book to us.
