Room on the Broom

This week we are reading the story of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. We will spend lots of time focusing on the rhyming words, characters and events in the story. In the outdoor area we will be moving like the frog, cat, bird and dragon in the story.
We will use newspaper brooms and try to work out how we can make them longer to make more room on our brooms. Everyone will go to "Broom School" to learn how to fly their broom with the "Broom Instructor". We will be making something magical from the junk modelling materials and exploring different methods of joining materials together. There will be lots of paint, crayons and other drawing/writing tools available to make pictures of the characters in the story and to write letters to them.
