growing

June 1, 2016

Our stories over the last half term Jack and the beanstalk and the Hungry Caterpillar have given lots of opportunities for children to discuss making choices..was Jack making good choices when he took the Giant's possessions? Was the caterpillar making good choices when he only ate treats?

One of the stories we have been reading  is Aliens love underpants....Our children noticed that one little Alien gets left behind in the boy's pants drawer, this helped us discuss keeping safe near our adults, how the Alien might feel and devise ways of getting him back to his space ship!...
