We have been very busy these last few days, filming mostly and now I am working solidly for 15 hours tomorrow. Then Friday is a day to fit everything in before we fly on Saturday. We are all feeling pretty shattered and the clocks changing hasn't helped. I love the wintery evenings but it does cut short the day. So I have a suggestion about how to fill those long evenings with the children. Create a word bank around a theme, we are doing spells (halloween etc) Then get them to use those relevant words to make up a story or a play or a poem. It is such fun and will get the children thinking creatively without them feeling that they are working. The idea is to keep everything fun. So start to think of words that describe a witch or what a witch might put into her spell. Then take the lead from the children to where they want to take the idea next.
Isabellas poem: Howling Holly,
Howling Holly went to school,
She learnt to fly so high,
with her witchy ways and happy days,
she waved her wand "Goodbye".
