The elephants heard so many fabulous stories, some new, some old, some that had been read when the parents were children! We loved them all, a huge thank you to the Mums of Vama, Blythe and Aidan and the Dads of Injun and Jamie for sharing your favourite stories with us!

Year Five had been writing their own stories and were very excited to come down to DUCKS and read them to us!

The Elephants had a enjoyable time sharing books with the Nursery children!

The Elephants shared lots of books with their Mums and Dads! So much reading! Good times!

The Finale of the whole week! Have a look at our fabulous costumes! Can you work out which book character we are?

We have been reading The Little Match Girl and finding out about her sad story. To help us understand her feelings, we have been acting out parts of the story.

The elephants had to find out about Zheng He ALL BY THEMSELVES! They were given lots of statements about him and challenged to put his life events in order!

We have just met the explorer Zheng He and we painted the type of boats he travelled in!

The children had a fun afternoon finding out about the traditions of Chinese New Year. At each information point there were fact sheets to read, film clips to watch or stories to listen to, with the children taking notes as they went. These facts were made into a fabulous leaflet, full of facts and colourful pictures!

The children spent time making their blossom tree pictures, carefully blowing ink across the page with a straw to represent the boughs of the tree and decorating with crepe paper blossom.
