LicketyLeap at St Mary’s – Group 2

2021-06-15T13:52:18+00:00

11th & 17th September 2019 We had a fantastic LicketyLeap with 9 children in group 2 (P1b). Every child contributed in the conversation at the start, C was especially chatty! After our mudfight, M suggested we go into the Sea to wash it off. In the Sea, L showed Worried Margaret how to swim on her back and R saw a boat. Everyone loved finding and sharing treasure. On the boat, everyone relished trying each other's fish and M gave the Fishy Lady a hug goodbye. In the Cave we saw bats, and everyone boldly shouted their name to make an echo. When the Bear appeared, a couple of people were a bit nervous, but they overcame any fears and patted and hugged it! S articulately told Bold Margaret about the Bear. L asked the Bird for a lift and after we reached the top of the Mountain, other L suggested sliding down. In Session 2, we revisited the story and everyone remembered it brilliantly. We also talked about our Heart's Desires: S – Swimming in the sea L – Go to the beach R – Find a unicorn L – Find a puppy C – Playing cousin’s xbox and a hamster M – Have a bunny and play with him in my home and go to the beach L – A unicorn L – Go to the mountain [...]

LicketyLeap at St Mary’s – Group 1

2019-09-26T13:07:24+00:00

11th & 17th September 2019 We had a brilliant first session of LicketyLeap with group one (P1a). 8 children joined Margaret and Margaret on their adventure through the Bog, over the Sea, into the Cave and up the Mountain! The were very engaged and chatty from the start, with every child giving appropriate answers about what M & M were doing in the postcards. The children helped get Worried Margaret into the Bog and loved finding the boggy blooms. E and J helped pull her out when she got stuck! H suggested we go over and help the Fishy Lady on her boat and everyone caught some fish - C's was red and green and tasted like cucumber and strawberry! On the shore, they saw giraffes, spiders, monkeys, elephants and C even saw a woodpecker in the trees! S was especially concerned about Worried Margaret when she fell off the cliff, but then T and E asked the Bird if we could ride on its back to the top of the mountain. In Session 2, we revisited the story and everyone remembered it brilliantly. We also talked about our Heart's Desires: H – Play with My little ponies T – Make a play of Margaret and Margaret, Happy Birthday O – Be with Mum, Birthday C – Riding a dolphin V – Play with my brother J – pencils [...]
