Today we read a lovely book called "Fireflies" by Julie Brinckloe.
It is a delightful story that touches on the idea that "you need to set something free in order to keep it"
The children thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story and it also relates well to our unit on Light. We will be spending time this week discussing the book and talking about man-made and natural light. They will take the story apart and find the ideas at the beginning, the happenings in the middle and the conclusion at the end.
The children also loved the idea of making a jar full of their own fireflies. So in order to do this I would like to ask each of you to please send:
- a jam jar or a medium sized jar to school (please no large)
Once everyone has brought a jar to school we will make our fireflies.
They do look amazing!!
