Harper is in our Matakauri room and loves nothing more than snuggling up on the couch and having a story. She will even bring books outside and find somebody to read to her. The book corner is a favourite spot, where she sits “reading” quietly to herself or out loud to anybody that wants to listen.

Earlier in the week we read a book together. “The Lamb who came to dinner.” (After escaping being the wolf’s tasty snack, the lamb and wolf enjoyed some yummy vegetable soup).

We discussed what soup we both enjoyed – she loved pumpkin she told me.

She is also showing a big interest in writing and loves to full pages with her “letters”, especially those she recognises from her name.

Today she arrived at preschool with a page full of “letters”. “This is the story about the pumpkin soup at the wolf’s house” she told me. She then went on to relay the story to me in her own words and tell me what she had written down! Music to a teachers ears.
