September

We are storytellers...

This week for Drawing Club we have focused on the theme of Scotland through Hettie the Highland Cow. We decided to go outside and make up our own stories about the wildlife we see in our playground - Scottish birds. Here are some of our stories!

Remy - "I heard a bird. It was tweeting. It was so quiet."

Isabella - "Once there was a little bird and then it was waiting for its mother to fly back and give it food. And the bird tweeted 3 times and then it was finished its worm to eat and it flew over to a blueberry tree."

Flora - "Once there was a nest in a tree and there was a mama bird and its egg in it. 2 days later it hatched and a little pink birdie came out. And the mama got some worms, fed it to the little birdies. In 2 weeks time, it flew away with its mum."

Connie - "The birdie flew away from its mummy. Then the mummy was looking for it's baby. And then the mummy found the baby and then the baby ran away again!"

Alex - "Once upon a time some birds were flying in Africa. When they got to Africa they saw a crocodile and it ate them all up! And then Superbird came to rescue them!"
