Class LH has used the
‘The Bog Baby’ by Jeanne Willis and Gwen Millward as a stimulus for creating
their own ‘Bog Baby’. Mrs Rolfe has
guided the children in firstly making their own Bog Baby out of clay using the
features from the text. (*see below).
After this, the children painted their own ‘Bog Baby’ in
preparation for the adventure around the school grounds.
* "round and blue, boggly eyes, a spiky tail and ears like a mouse"
Darcy and Frank both commented - "I enjoyed extruding the clay to make the ears and the arms."
Whilst Rory noted,"I enjoyed sticking the wings on ready for its adventure."
The children used the cameras to record the adventures and thought carefully about how and where the Bog Babies hid and what they discovered. Finally, the photos were then used to sequence their stories and retell the adventure that it had been on.

In the last week, the children collated their books
providing a front cover and including the chapters inside the book.
Today, some of the Year 5 children visited our class to
listen to the stories that Class LH had written. It was a lovely sharing session and Class LH
were very excited about sharing their stories.
