Under 8's Day

With blue passports tied around their necks, our under 8s headed off to collect stickers for completing numerous activities. Thanks to Kylie for photos from Hoola Hoops, Construction Play, Sand Castles, Obstacle Course, Dancing and Painting.

Georgia K brought in this fabulously funny book:

We loved this page:

We decided to write a suitable menu for the occasion.

Bella

Lauren

Other revolting ideas were:

Nellie-worm jelly

Haley- crab mudcake with wild green chocolate berries

Ashley- live frog and fly salad

Georgia K- moth burgers and cat fur soup

Patrick- snake pudding and snail stew

What if tadpoles could talk?

We used de Bono's hats to ponder the question 'What if our tadpoles could talk?'

Liam said they would say," Mrs Wilson, Liam is working!"

Nellie thought if tadpoles could talk we could then make friends with them.

Jake wondered if they would help us with our work.

Bella thought they would tell us if we were making a poor choice.

Georgia S said they'd talk to the Beanie Kids in our classroom. 

Ashley said they would say,"Please can you set me free!"

Lauren said they would say,"Mrs Wilson we want some food!"

Georgia K added that they would be able to tell us exactly what they wanted to eat.

Patrick thought that talking tadpoles would make especially good pets but also thought they may dob (tell tales) on students.

Yeju said they would enjoy talking to each other and may even say,"Mrs Wilson, I want to do some work!"

Jordan said they would say, "Oh, I like this person!"

Sean said they would say, "Can we eat those cupcakes?"
Amber: said they would let us know if there was a fire, if they wanted to be our friends, if they wanted a chat and if they needed fresh water.
Mackenzie thought it would be amazing and they could ask us to let them go to the creek.
