One Year With Kipper

In January Kipper makes a New Year Resolution about throwing snowballs at Tiger . . .

In this great story, we go through the year with Kipper and see which photograph he takes each month . . .

Eva - "I liked it when Kipper took the photos!"

In April, Kipper was catching tadpoles. Louis told us all 
about them . . . 

"They have a tail, then their legs start to grow and then they turn into frogs!"

It was in August that Kipper took a parachute ride 
above the sea . . .

Elijah - "I liked the part when Kipper was flying"

But Charlie thought September was best after Kipper and Tiger had been picking blackberries . . . 

"I liked the bit where Tiger had all the berries on his hands and on his nose!"

Perhaps you could make a photographic record of your year.
Which month do you think would be your favourite?

Kipper's Toybox

Someone or something had been nibbling a hole in Kipper's Toybox . . . 


This is our second Mick Inkpen book - and just like the first, we thought it was great!

"I love Kipper!" (Alex)

"He took his toys out and he counted them" (Thomas TE)

We all joined in and helped Kipper to count!

Ethan liked the part when Sock Thing was going away from Kipper - but poor Kipper wasn't sure what to do - none of his toys had ever come to life before!

"I liked it when the mouse was nibbling Kipper's Toybox" (Jamie)

We would love to hear what you thought about the story - read it and let us know!

Kipper's Snowy Day!

This term in the Nursery, we are going to be sharing books from the wonderful author Mick Inkpen.

As we had seen a sprinkling of snow on Boxing Day, and have been thinking about 'Winter' this week - we thought 'Kipper's Snowy Day' would be a great book to start with!


We weren't disappointed - the children loved this story and enjoyed it even more when we watched the video!

Ava S - "The dog (Kipper) did footprints all around his garden"

Honey liked it when Tiger and Kipper rolled down the hill.

Leyla - "I liked the doggy snowman thing!"

Nate - "The sun melted him!"

We're sure you'll enjoy this story too - let us know.
