Together they flicked through the pages of the calendar and found kitten after kitten on each page, one page inparticular was held open for some time and children stood around describing it....
The children were asked "If this kitten had a name what could it be?"
and "Tell me more about the kitten?"
Lilley, Seven, Sienna and Alycia came up with some creative names and ideas that we wrote down to make a story about the kittens. This continued through the whole calendar with each page being cut out and described - name, age and often what they like to do or play with.
Have a read of the story in the photo below, each kitten had to be labelled so that everyone would know their name. Children took pride in presenting their work on the wall and listening to their story be re-told to their friends who gathered around. He kupu ataahua - a lovely story.
I'm sure you will all agree that the children have done a wonderful job imagining and creating their story about kittens.
