In Wibbly's Garden!

We all enjoyed meeting Wibbly Pig again and 'In Wibbly's Garden' there was a BIG surprise waiting for Wibbly - and for us!


Maisy - "Wibbly Pig couldn't find Pigley"

Esme - "I think he's hiding under the tree!" 

The children loved lifting the flaps to reveal who or what was hiding there!
Felicity predicted what Wibbly might do with his bean - 

Felicity - "He's going to plant a beanstalk - make a little hole, put the bean inside it and you put water in and it grows and grows and grows!"

We met a hen as Wibbly climbed up the beanstalk - Bailey suggested it might belong to Kipper!
Several children tried to guess what would be hidden behind the clouds . . . 

Harley - "There might be a giant in there! - because giants live up there - the beanstalk"

Ember - "I think it's going to be a big, big, giant! Because I saw Jack and the Beanstalk"

Alfie - "I think it's going to be a big house - cause at the top of the beanstalk, I've got Jack and the Beanstalk"

Reece thought there might be a dragon, and Violet said it would be a castle!

Felicity - "It's just like Jack and the Beanstalk!"

Jessica - "I liked the castle, because it was so big!"

We thought the giant looked nice and friendly!

Lexie-Mai - "The giant said 'Where's my chicken?"

Lottie - "I liked it when the giant said 'Where's my chicken?' And I liked the beanstalk!"

The magic hen had a golden egg - and Pigley!

Alisha - "My favourite part was the giant!"

Sam - "I likeded the giant too - because the giant lost his magic hen and he found it"

Felicity - "I liked the giant 'cause he had a gold egg for Wibbly Pig - a magic egg!"

Wibbly Pig and Pigley were re-united, and Wibbly also got to keep the golden egg!

Thomas H - "I liked it when Pigley had the golden  egg in the car"

Oliver E - "I liked it when the giant said 'Goodbye' to Wibbly Pig"

Noah - "I liked it when Wibbly drove his car away with the golden egg and the giant said 'Bye' !"

We wondered where Wibbly Pig might go next - what do you think?

Willow class has - Amazing Brilliant Children!

Well done James!

Today James brought in a 'Judith Kerr' book called 'Mogs Amazing Birthday Caper'.
James had found this book at the library :-)

The children really enjoyed reading it as its a bit different from the others. Every page has most of the words on from a letter of the alphabet and the story runs in alphabetical order. This must have been very difficult for the author to do!


Thanks James - a great find!

Thank you to Amelia too who brought in a Judith Kerr book we shared a couple of weeks ago, 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea', its great that you enjoy reading it at home too Amelia!
