We have had a fantastic afternoon with Peter story telling. We pretended that we went to Alaska, the North Pole, a desert, a volcano and space and thought about what we might pack in our bag. We thought about how we could use a prop such as rope, boots, a hat, tape, binoculars etc. to solve a problem that we might face on the way.
We had a great time with Peter on Thursday learning all about story telling! We created our own stories based off ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘Loopy Luna and the Hula Hoop’.
We had a great time with Peter. We worked with him to create our own journey stories based on ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘Loopy Luna and the Hula Hoop.’
Today we were visited by Peter Duncan who worked with the children to create a shared story. When the children arrived back into the classroom after break they were greeted by a tunnel and a letter. They investigated the area and read the letter. The letter contained identity tags and a letter. The children concluded that the letter and the identity tags must have been from an evacuee. So they decided to go through the tunnel and step back in time to 1939. They were all transported back to Knighton Train Station when a train of evacuees were arriving from Liverpool. They were met by Mr Thompson who was a busy man trying to arrange host families for the evacuees to stay with. Luckily, the children had time to interview Mr Thompson before they returned back to 2023….just in time for lunch!
We are really enjoying our expressive arts sessions with Mrs Phillips. We are currently learning three songs in relation to our theme of journeys.
We made palm leaves and role-played Jesus entering Jerusalem, We shouted “Hooray for Jesus!”
We discussed the story ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker. Following this we created our own magical world using resources from the classroom on the carpet. Then we talked about different journeys we could take using different transports. We worked in groups to create freeze frames of these journeys.
