Blinging out our Cave !
Evie decided that our cave neeeded a little makeover , the silver milk bottle tops reflected the candle light !
The children raided our material box transforming a medieval castle into a cave for the prehistoric animals.
Cave Baby needed a rest so asked the children to make beautiful marks on his cave.
We used black,blue,red and green to make large and small movements.
Cavemen need animal print Mrs Beard.
To make sure we are strong enough to make our caves we have been strengthing our writing fingers.
The children used the special hole punchers and then used the pipe cleaners to weave in and out. Some children made purses and handbags !
We love Mrs Lingards pipecleaner moustache :-)
Thomas used his imagination to create a pipecleaner bug...
"I've even made enough holes for a trillion legs !"

Walking through the caves..........What can you see , What can you see !
Cave Baby has come to live in Reception , Look at our cave !
Look closely , our handprints and pictures tell a story. The cavemen couldn't write as beautifully as we can so they chose to draw rhe story instead.
Olivia and Kai wanted to see how old the rocks were.
If you look closely you can see a dinosaur kai !
Spray painting our handprints just like real cavemen.
Are cave is very dark . Jessica has learnt how to make a magical flame.
Evie used the sparkly and shimery green to make a tail, "I will be a prehistoric animal look at my long green tail! "
We have been enjoying our audio cave books. First we scanned our QR codes that took us directly to our Audio book. We enjoyed Caveman dave , The cave baby as well as Julia Donaldson's Song version of Cave Baby.
