Where The Wild Things Are

We have thoroughly enjoyed our topic of 'Ways to Travel' this week. We read the book 'Where the wild things are', about a boy called Max, who travels in a little boat to where the wild things are.

The book was enjoyed so much, that the children were keen to re-read it themselves.




Some children decided to draw pictures of Max's boat, and also made some 'wild things' using the resources available in the room.




We also felt that the main character, Max, was not very nice at the beginning of the story, so we wrote letters of apology to his mum, on hehalf of Max.

During PE we used our imagination to retell the story through dance and movement.




Our greatest achievement was the retelling of the story through drama. We are lucky to have surroundings that enable the children's imagination to grow, and also the gorgeous weather! The children utilised the garden and conservation area as a backdrop for their stories, and also included our role play area as 'Max's bedroom'. We have decided to make a picture book of the story, and will include it in our book corner.
