We love playing drama games

In this drama game called birthday we have a party host and party guests. The guests are given a role to act in and the host has to guess what they are. Today for example Grace was a clock, Ella was a hip hop dancer, Josh was a ballerina and Maya was a servant. The guests need to interact with the host, the audience and the other guests to give the host clues. It's lots of fun and helps us with our oral language skills and remembering to stay in character.

Happy PJ day! Thanks to the wonderful teachers and learners in our math session today. We had 6 sessions to choose from and could book into two. The options were: learning strategies to remember your timestables, compensation with multiplication, place value with multiplication, basic multiplication algorithms, hard multiplication algorithms and dividing large numbers. Have a chat to your children about what sessions they booked into.

The wonderful photos were taken by the wonderful Josh who was the photographer of the day today :)

Here are some more of our creative ideas to get the cookie jar down. Enjoy

 

You find a leprechaun and get him to tell you where a rainbow is so you get a plane above the rainbow and you jump off it and slide down the rainbow onto the fridge only to find rainbows aren't solid. Isabel

The pig could shoot himself out of a cannon aiming at the cookies. Sam

Throw cream pies at it. Josh

Get a car and drive into the fridge and then eat the remains of the cookies. Oscar

He could get a leaf blower and blow the cookies off. Thomas

Get a battering ram and knock over the fridge. Thomas

Open the bottom draw of the fridge halfway and the top all the way. But the door slams shut and you get stuck in the fridge. You're doomed!!!!! Poppy

A wolf scares the pig so the pig jumps high and gets the cookies. Mira

Put a lasso around the cookie jar and pull it to the ground. Charis

Cut it down short with a chainsaw.

Use bricks as stairs and jump on the cookie jar.

The pig could drill holes in the back of the fridge to use as climbing holes to get to the top of the fridge.
