Following on from our focus on 'Empathability' we read the story of 'Smiley Shark' - although he is the friendliest, smiliest fish in the ocean, the other fish won't let him join in their games . . . Whenever Smiley Shark smiled at the other fish they swam away - Maddie told us
"They were scared cause they didn't know him and they didn't know he was a good shark" The Angelfish raced away as fast as she could swim when Smiley Shark asked her to play with him - Noah told us this was "Because the shark was going to eat him!" As we paused and talked about which part of the story the children had enjoyed so far, Ollie told us "When Pufferfish pricked Smiley Shark on the nose cause it was funny!" Theo said "The fish hurt him - cause he's a bit spiky!" When the other fish got caught in a trap, Smiley Shark wanted to know what he could do to help - Noel suggested he could "Bite the net apart - cause his teeth are a bit sharp, he has to make a hole - they have to swim away before another net gets them" After we had finished the story, George told us "I liked when the Smiley Shark jumped out of the water and smiled at the fisherman and he said 'I'm off!' - that was my best bit!" The children loved this story, and we are going to have Ruth Galloway as our focus author for the remainder of the term!
