‘There are all cookies squashed on the floor!’ ‘What a mess – Mr Parker will be sad!’  ‘Who has made all the mess on the Piazza?’  were some of the children’s responses!  An answer to the latter was found inside the envelope – a book from Biscuit Bear telling us all about his predicament, and so begins a weeks-long exploration of our very exciting new CLPE text. 

Some of the children chose to write signs and letters for the Bear, ‘telling him no come in and make a mess’ or maybe ‘only nice Biscuit Bears can come in!’  Problem-solving skills were explored through envelope-making, how to make a stamp (‘what shape is it –  let’s see our shapes to check’ ) and posting over-large letters through the letter box.. It will be exciting to see how far creative imaginations will run over the next few weeks!
