Wibbly Pig's Silly Big Bear

We have been thinking about what makes our mums so special to us, and decided to read this story from Mick Inkpen:

There are lots of things that the bear can't do very well, but there are also lots of things that make him very special to Wibbly Pig . . . 

Caleb - "I liked it when he pulled his ears"

Jenson - "I liked the bear saying he was going to bounce the moon to the pig!"

Mila - "I liked the part when he was blowing the bubbles" 

We also read that Wibbly Pig's bear will disappear your trouble inside a hug. What a lovely thing to be able to do.

Just like Wibbly Pig, we all thought his bear was 
very special too!

Have you got a special bear? 
We would love to hear about him!

Wibbly Pig has 10 Balloons

As we were finding out about the Hindu Spring Festival of Holi (which is known as the Festival of Colour) we thought this would be a good Mick Inkpen book to choose with all the colourful balloons!

Wibbly Pig was very proud of his ten balloons, but all his friends wanted to have one too.

As we read through the book, we met the different characters and found out which of Wibbly Pig's balloons they chose. 

We carefully counted how many balloons Wibbly Pig had left each time. Wibbly Pig didn't want anyone to have the teddy bear balloon because it was his favourite.

Big Pig's sister wanted the pink balloon with the bow, but as she grabs the strings from Wibbly, she lets the others go!

Arlana - "I think he will cry cause she let them go. 

He'd feel sad"

Skylar - "I liked the bear (balloon) because he was 

floating away"

Wibbly Pig wanted to cry - but then he rescued Tiny Pig who had floated up to the ceiling - and Tiny Pig gave him back the heart shaped balloon as it was much too big for him. It didn't last long though . . . 

Ella-Grace - "The balloon went pop - the heart one"

Poor Wibbly and Tiny Pig - they sat sadly in the park - then Tiny Pig spotted something floating past the moon . . .

Flynn - "I liked the pig (Wibbly) finding his balloon again cause he was going to grab it!"

We were all happy that the teddy bear balloon came back!

Which balloon do you think you would have chosen?

Let us know!
