Where the Wild Things Are

On Tuesday 11 March, we followed Max, a mischievous boy, on his journey to become King of the Wild Things. ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ was written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak in 1963, and is widely regarded as a classic children’s story.

After reading the story, we made ‘wild’ feet, so we could become monsters from the book. We decorated and planted cress heads to take home, and made pictures of Max sailing in his boat to the land where the wild things are.

Then we tested our knowledge of the story with puzzles, word searches and activity sheets.

We’ll be back in Ziggies After School Club on Tuesday 18th March, when we’ll be reading ‘Hamilton’s Hats’ by Martine Oborne, a story about a pig who loves hats.  So if you’re in year 1 and would like to join us, please come along with your grown up and any brothers or sisters you may have. Bring a copy of the book (if you have one). We’ll be in the middle block hall from 3.15 – 4.15pm. Oh, and this week we’d like everyone to wear a funny hat (including the grown ups). If you don’t have a funny hat, any hat will do.

Hope to see you there.
