Awesome Animals

This week was all about Awesome Animals.

We met Carina’s Jumpy Dog and Evie’s Crazy Chicken.

Charlie’s Eating Seal and Ruby’s Cheeky Kangaroo.

Maria’s Scared Elephant.

Kevin’s Cheeky Capybara.

Letter to my Love

These animals were very loving!

🎶 I sent a letter to my love and on the way I dropped it…

🎶 Someone must have picked it up and put it in my pocket! 

🎶 Was it you or was it you…?

Dressing up

When we dressed up we met a whole host of other animals!

Maria the Bat who eats Fruit flies

La la Ladybug who eats Cheese

Sammy the Snake who eats Evies!

A bunny called Betsy who eats carrots.

And a sloth who eats Gum Trees.

But there’s only one animal in Storyplay who has a watch…

What’s the Time Mr Wolf!

There was Diamond Wolf and Vine Wolf.

Two wolves who lived in spiderweb caves

A wolf who liked to drink cups of tea.

And a wolf with a stone watch.

Dinner time!

Well, luckily we escaped those hungry wolves. By this time, we were hungry ourselves!

We had boiled eggs and sweet chilli hummus. Strawberry jam and honeydew melon. Bananas, oranges and Sayeda’s delicious cake!

The Storyplay Games

All our games are on the 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:

 

Read some of the artist’s reflections from the Lickety Art Gallery: 

A jumpy dog and its owner.

Carina,

A tree. A spider ate someone with two legs. A tree from the forest.

C,

That was the balloons from last week. That’s me dressed up.

Abu,

I drawed me dressed up as a bat, mum as a bear and my sister as a fox.

Maria,

Book Reviews

Each week the librarians get out some books for us to take home to inspire our Storyplay.

We had two book reviews this week.

Abu told us about the book he read about France. He learned a fact – there are lots of different religions in France.

Charlie told us about a dinosaur book and a book about the Pyramids!

Can’t wait to Storyplay with you again soon!
