In response to our literacy text Not a Stick, the children created stick wands, using different materials. Each unique wand provided inspiration for our whole class “adjective brainstorm.” Through role play, the children rehearsed their sentence “my _ _ wand can turn you into a _.” The children will use phonic knowledge to write their sentence next week.
During outdoor time this week, the children made clay hedgehogs, connecting to our science enquiry this week of how seasons affect animals. The children needed creative thinking skills and social skills as they designed their hedgehog whilst sharing the materials available. Next week the children will be challenged to make a shelter for Mrs Lewis’ hedgehog.
