In R/1 Yellow we enjoyed making curious creatures as part of our Book Week and literacy activities. We gave a name to our creature and wrote some of the interesting things they could do, such as fly really high, read a really hard book, run fast, and meditate.
We also read many of the books nominated for picture book of the year. Our favourite book was "When Billy was a Dog", we give it a big thumbs up.
During Book Week, R/1 Purple enjoyed listening to the shortlisted book called ‘We’re Stuck’ by Sue deGennaro. We liked looking at the different animal characters in the story and talking about the clothes they were wearing and the jobs they might do. We drew pictures of Apartment # 24 where the animals all lived.
R/1 Red enjoyed reading lots of the shortlisted books during Book Week. We really enjoyed the winning book “I NEED a parrot” by Chris McKimmie. We drew a pet that we NEED and listed the reasons why. We also made our own curious creatures as pets and named them.
For Book Week in Week 3, Reception Blue read many of the shortlisted books. Our favourite book that we read was called Three, written by Stephen Michael King. The story is about a dog who had three legs and is looking for a home. He makes his way through the city counting all the legs he can see until he makes a new friend! We decided to draw our favourite part of the story.
