Well, what a surprise Year 1 have had this week! We came into the classroom to find a very strange looking creature inside a jar. Miss Wright told us that she recognised the creature, it was from a story called 'The Bog Baby'. We read the story and learnt about two little girls who went fishing in a forest before coming across this strange creature that was as soft as jelly. The story told us of how the girls took the creature home in a jar. They fed him cake crumbs, they took him for walks on a lead and made a lovely home for him in a bucket. But before long, he became sick. We used the story to talk about wild animals and how some animals have everything that they need in the wild. We then used the book to inspire our writing by designing a perfect home for Bog Baby and labelling it, we wrote a set of instructions for how to catch a Bog Baby and used adjectives to describe the setting of his perfect home.
