This week we have been sharing the story of 'The Gruffalo's Child', finding out what happened when she tiptoed out into the snow in search of the Big Bad Mouse! The children were then very excited when the Gruffalo's Child came to visit us!
She was thirsty after her adventures in the wood looking at the variety of animal tracks in the snow and locating their different homes, but she didn't have a drink, only some ice cubes. We wondered if there was anything we could do to help, and Tylden suggested "Melt them!" He went on to explain "Because it's ice, it has water inside. Water would come (when they melted)". Tylden told us that the Gruffalo's Child could then "Drink it"! We spent some time exploring the ice cubes and observing what happened as they started to melt in our warm hands! This week we have also been singing the number rhyme 'Five Little Snowmen' and counting down as each one in turn melted in the sun, leaving behind their scarves, buttons and funny little hats . . .
