P-HIC Reception: Learning About Animals

May 14, 2015
Our P-HIC Reception children have been learning about animals. They learned the names of jungle animals and based some sentence work on a funny book called "Pardon?" said the Giraffe by Colin West. The story tells of a frog who wants to know what it is like to be as tall as a giraffe. The frog climbs on the lion, the hippo and the elephant until finally he can reach the giraffe. Frog tickles Giraffe’s nose making him sneeze. 

The children had great fun acting out the story: they pretended to sneeze and made the poor frog fall on the floor! Inspired, they created their own sentences using Widget Symbols for animals, verbs and places. To finish their work, they read their very own retelling of the story.
