Our class puppet Sid had been missing for several days. We missed him terribly especially in literacy. Sid wasn’t sat on the chair ready to hear all of the wonderful books we had been making in the book making area.
In literacy we have been reading and learning about the story ‘We’re Going On a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. The children decided that rather than going on a bear hunt in our lesson they would much rather go on a Sid hunt.
So we put on our coats lined up and sang…
“We’re going on a Sid hunt.
We’re going to catch a short one.
What a cold day, we’re not scared.”
It wasn’t long before we came across some obstacles but we stayed together and eventually we found Sid…in the staff room enjoying some peace and quiet with a cup of tea in his tiger mug!
“Uh- oh! A corridor!
A long straight corridor.
We can’t go over it.
We can’t go under it.
Oh no! We have got to walk through it!”
Once we had returned Sid back to our classroom we sat down together and turned our adventure into our very own story “We’re going on a Sid hunt”.
We worked together to sound out our words.
Sid is very pleased to be back in the classroom and he loved hearing his story.
