My class don’t do much on a small scale. There is a lot of detail in this pirate ship telling a fabulous story. Even a ramp that opens for boarding.

It’s not a ramp to get the animals on board the zoo train. It’s an emergency slide to get them off in case the lion gets angry.

One pupil this week made a book out of post-its and asked the PSA to scribe his story. And what a wonderful story it is.

This is so good from 4/5 year olds.
