Creative Kindergarteners!

We have been exploring all sorts of ways to use our imagination this week. Our first creative adventure was to use our imaginations and talk about what we really see when we look at a paper plate! 

"Oh, the thinks you can think" - Dr Seuss

I was so impressed by all of the amazing ideas that all the children had! I'm sure you will agree!!

Secondly we have been making our own stories on an app called "Book Creator." The stories are based on the characters that each child dressed up as last Tuesday. They are looking fabulous and once they are complete I will be uploading them in each child's individual page. 

Thirdly this week we have been looking at stories that we are very familiar with. Such as - "The Three Little Pigs", "The Gingerbread Man", "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." We read these stories from big books and in small groups discussed the different parts of a book. Title page, author, characters, setting, problems and solutions. We also talked about how you could change the stories to be something different such as The Three Little Monkeys or The 10 Billy Goats Gruff. The possibilities were endless :-)

We thought about the different ways we could tell a story. The children told me they could act out a story, or make puppets to tell a story. We thought it would be a great idea to make a puppet theatre for our class. So our candy house has been transformed!

Abracadabra.......

Puppet theatre

Many puppets are being designed and shows prepared. I will film each show and as they are completed and upload them onto each child's individual page over the next few weeks. Watch this space.......
