Dear Chapple families
As
part of our literacy investigation into the sound “A”, we read the story of
Noah and the Ark.
Why
was it a good idea to build the boat?
Ned: Sail the seas
if there was a flood
Hannah: The animals
could be saved.
Zoe: Boat is handy
because it could go across the sea.
What
is the name of the boat?
Jasper:
Cruise
ship.
Why
do they need two of each animal?
Lachlan: Because they
might be a family.
When
do you see a rainbow?
Benji: When the rain
stops, the rainbow comes out.
Hannah: I have an ark
and two of every animal at home. I have a Noah in my life too.
What
animals could we make for our ark?
Louis:
Pigs,
two.
Hugo: Donkeys
Hannah: Snakes.
Christopher: Chickens.
Lachlan: Cows.
Jasper: Fox.
Ellie: Flamingo.
Ned: But not
dolphins because they can swim.
The
children made a great display of their favourite animals for the Ark and Hannah
and Zoe felt it really needed the rainbow so made a beautiful addition.
The
children became really excited by animals and the role play became a vets. Our
animal puppets show has proved very popular as well.
