Feature Stories from half-term ~ enhancing and building vocabulary, language developmet, and a growing knowledge base . . .

Where the Wild Things Are ~

children sailed with Max ‘through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year…’ to places within and without, learning of ‘wild things’ … and maybe taming just a few wild inclinations too

Bimwili and the Zimwi ~

children explored, as with Max, ‘frightening’ things … a traditional Swahili folktale of a young girl Bimwli’s capture by a shape-shifting ogre along the beaches of Zanzibar

The Snail and The Whale ~

children swam with the whale and rode with the snail across great ocean waters exploring and becoming superheroes themselves
