Making Diggers

Today we brainstormed all we knew about diggers. Mrs Hartley then read us the story called "The Little Yellow Digger". After that we were allowed to make our own diggers. We could choose to work with a friend or by ourselves. We could also choose how to make our digger. Some of us drew a picture using kidpix on the computer, some chose to use lego, some painted, some drew, some used boxes to construct their diggers. When we reflected, we were all happy with the choice we made. It made us feel good inside to be able to choose what to use to create with. Next time some of us might use different things to construct with.

Mrs H goes to a 'C' party

Last night Mrs Hartley went to a 'C' party. I dressed up as the cat in the hat. The lovely Mrs Mount lent me her hat. Being a cat and knowing dogs like to chase cats, I was pretty scared at first. I wondered if I should run away quickly. I saw this great big friendly RED dog come in the door... Can you guess what his name was? It does start with 'C'. Have a look
