13th & 19th September 2019

The final LicketyLeap group (P1a) was the biggest yet (10 children) and you could tell there was already a buzz about Margaret and Margaret in the classroom! By the time we were with the Oogly Boogly Lady everyone had bought into the story, with M saying “She’s gone into the mountain!” when Bold Margaret disappeared.

They all told the Fishy Lady the colour of the fish they had caught on the Boat and K saw a rainbow bird in the trees on the Shore. J, D and K went to hide in the Cave and everyone called their name to make an echo. K suggested we pat the Bear and J suggested we could say sorry. M led the rest in patting and feeding the bear.

They loved the Bird and M asked it if we could get a lift to the top of the Mountain. S stroked the Bird’s face. P, S and T all helped Worried Market jump across!

“That was the fish Margaret and that was the other fish Margaret and then they ate the fish. And there’s the rollerskates. Hands. I liked it when they were sliding down the hill. I was on the bird and I was literally flying and then I jumped off it. I wasn’t scared I jumped off and parachuted!” Child, Reflective Drawing

In Session 2, we revisited the story and everyone remembered it brilliantly. We also talked about our Heart’s Desires:

P – Go to the beach
A – Go to the park with my mum and dad. Play on the chute
M – Go in the water pool myself
J – Go in a swimming pool and go down a chute all the way up into the sky
T – Go to a giant water park with my daddy and my brother Calvin
K – Go to a water park with my mummy and daddy
S – Dress up like a princess
M – Going up and down on a flume
D – Jumping high up and down with jumping socks

We had the highest family attendance ever in Session 2! 18 parents/carers and family members came to watch the film! If you couldn’t make it and would like to see the film, please get in touch with the school to arrange a viewing.
