The Rhyming Rabbit

This term, the Nursery are going to have a focus on Julia Donaldson books during some of our story time sessions. 

Recently, we have have been thinking about vegetable gardens and the little rabbits that might visit them, so we thought 'The Rhyming Rabbit' would be a good story to start with!


Here are a few of the children's thoughts . . .

"I liked the first bit because the rabbit did sing to them" (Ava S)

"I think the fox is hungry and he's going to eat the rabbits!" (Cody)

"The rabbits are going in the hole so the fox can't see them" (Noah)

The Rhyming Rabbit met a sheep in the story - when we got to that part, Evie suggested we could sing Baa Baa Black Sheep - and so that's what we did when we finished the book!

Have you got any Julia Donaldson books at home? Or perhaps you could borrow some from the Library.

Willow Class are enjoying David McKee books this term!

The author we are focusing on this term is David McKee.

Today we shared our first story - 'I Hate My Teddy'.  We thought the title was very interesting! Nobody in Willow class hated their teddy!

The children in the story were boasting that their teddies could do different things like talk, count, sing and even fly!  It was funny at the end because we found out what the teddies could really do!

Willow Class gave this book a big thumbs up!

If you have a David McKee book at home - or you see one visiting the library, please bring it in to share with us!
