Kipper's New Pet

We have been enjoying our next story 
all about Kipper . . . 

This great book starts off with another birthday - this time it is Pig's special day!

Pig writes a list of some of the presents he would like to receive.
We talked about the type of 'lists' we have been writing this week in preparation for our Toys party.

Kipper chose a hamster from the list - Jenson told us "I've got a hamster at home - he's called Cookie!"

The children enjoyed sharing in Kipper's enthusiasm as he looked after the hamster before the party.

Jasmine - "I liked the hamster rolling"

Thomas - "He liked sliding down the cage - Roly Poly"

When Kipper finally arrived to give Pig his present, he discovered that he had been given all the other pets 
off the list too!

We talked about which pet the children liked the most . . . 

Logan - "I like the mouse - cause I do!"

Kipper had a lovely surprise at the end of the story - we won't spoil it by telling you - but we think you will like it!

Have a read of the book and let us know what you think.
We'd love to hear about any pets that you have too!

Kipper's Birthday

Inspired by our recent Chinese New Year celebrations, we have chosen this next book to share by Mick Inkpen - it's all about another type of celebration!

Kipper was very excited about his birthday . . . 

Lola - "Kipper had balloons because he was going to have some friends - it was party time!"

The day before the party, Kipper made 
himself a birthday cake . . . 

Eve - "I liked the cherry on top of the cake. It needs to be bigger and have candles on it"

There was some confusion over when the party was, and as Kipper sat waiting for his friends to arrive he felt hungry - and ended up eating his cake!

Thankfully his friends had bought him a cake as 
a birthday present . . .

Harry W - "Kipper's got a white birthday cake. 
It's got candles on it"

What was your last birthday cake like?
Let us know!
