Farewell Murphy

We hope you have a fantastic time in Oxford Murphy. We will miss you lots but we are looking forward to contacting you over there. We hope you had a great flight.

Clip with hidden messages

 

 

We had a discussion around the clip. Here are some of the messages we came up with:

 

-Just because you see something doesn't mean it's true. For example, if you see your friend playing with someone else doesn't mean that they don't like you anymore.

 

-Don't judge a book by its cover.

 

-You can make changes yourself to make others happy.

 

-Just because it doesn't work the first time keep trying.

 

-Respect people's feelings. Even if it doesn't mean anything to you it could mean everything to them.

Some more of our creative ideas...

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

Writing stimulation

 

In room 3 today we used this video as a writing prompt for show not tell. The children enjoyed the clip so much that we did a creative thinking activity where they had to think of their own creative not logical way for the pig to get the cookie from the fridge. Here are our ideas:

The pig called a stork to see if he and his cloud could make a giant eagle. Then he sat on the eagle and crash landed onto the fridge only to find it was the wrong fridge! Eek (ps always be happy) Isabel
