The Blue Balloon

All of the children enjoyed making firework pictures last week, and used some super words to describe the noise fireworks make, and how they look in the sky.
This week we're looking at and discussing the book The Blue Balloon by Mick Inkpen.
This is a lovely book which will enable us to talk about colours,shapes and things that float.
As the week progresses, it's always nice to see how the children can recall the story and tell us what happens.
To tie in with the theme this week, the children will be marble painting their own blue balloon.
In the kitchen we will be making pizzas with a choice of toppings which include our own homemade tomato puree ( using tomatoes grown at pre-school ) cheese, pineapple and red peppers.
