Animal Week

Bridgeton Blog!

12th September 2025

Week 2 – woohoo!

We warmed up by making ourselves as Big as a Bear…and as fast as a hare!

As well as these rhyming creatures, you came up with loads more!

There was:

Dua’s Dying Bee

Alan’s Metal Chicken

Ouff’s Flying Snail

Emilia’s Jogging Shark

Maab’s Funky Chicken

Zara’s Pinching Crab

Leeanne’s Angry Tiger

Zhara’s Funny Cow

Awoooo!

Did you say something?

What’s the time Mr Wolf!

There’s only one animal in the Storyplay woods who has a watch.

We got ready for school with Mohammed Wolf. He had a gold and silver watch.

We crept about with Wilhelmina Wolf.

Suliman Wolf lived in deep water and wore an orange watch.

Scary Wolf Dua lived at the end of the forest and liked to hunt.

Dinner time!

We enjoyed carrot and lentil soup.

Bread and boiled eggs.

And Paul’s delicious fruit platters!

The Storyplay Games

All our games are on our Lickety Playcards. You will get your very own pack in week 5 to help you Storyplay at home!

Reflective Drawing

We almost always do ‘Reflective drawing’ at the end of a Storyplay session. It’s nice to relax and draw & think about what we’ve all done & how we feel about it.

Reflective drawing isn’t about doing a ‘good’ drawing – it’s about drawing whatever comes into your head when you think about what you’ve just done.

But as you draw you realise more about what you thought or imagined in the session. And it’s great to share that with everyone & hear what they thought! So many things go on in Storyplay!

Here are some of our Reflective Drawings from this week:
