A Special Visitor

Ziggies after school club returned on Tuesday 6 May after a four week break. We were delighted to see so many familiar faces there, and also a new friend came to see us. Freckle Frog, (Ziggie’s best friend) called in to see everyone and was given a very warm welcome. He hopped about and had a cuddle with all the children.

Our book this week was ‘Dig Dig Digging’ by Margaret Mayo, which is all about diggers, tractors, lorries and other working vehicles. After the story, we dug in the sand tray for buried letters to see how many words we could make out of them. We made 3D models of houses and trucks out of card, and painted pictures of roads and building sites with cut out vehicles stuck on. We also made our own moveable diggers and coloured lots of pictures of our favourite trucks. At the end of the session, there were some toy trucks to play with and we enjoyed pushing them around and vroom, vroom, vrooming!

Ziggies will be back next week (Tuesday 13 May), when we’ll be reading ‘Handa’s Surprise’ by Eileen Browne. 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.

Hope to see you there.
