Literacy Week in Reception: Winnie the Witch

May 13, 2019
During Literacy Week, Reception children learnt all about Winnie the Witch. They took part in a variety of activities centred around the story Winnie in Winter, a tale that they particularly enjoyed. Our pupils were amazed by their experience of the Hacton snow room that Winnie magicked into existence. The children wrote a description of winter, created melted snowman pictures, explored how cold ice really is, made their own version of Wilbur the cat, made magic wands, created some fantastic junk models of Winnie's house and chalk pictures of Winnie herself.

On Friday, the children dressed up as characters from Winnie’s adventures and had a special snack. They created and ate their own delicious melted snowman biscuits. What a fun-packed week!
