The Uxbridge Zoo

We moved the tables upstairs and laid a long piece of paper  on the floor awaiting the children's ideas.
It wasn't long before a Zoo was being made. Take a look at this collaboration. What was wonderful about this activity station was that once the tamariki had drawn the environments, some children came along afterwards and enjoyed playing with the animals in imaginary games, even though the other children had made them. They were enjoying each others efforts. It gave a sense of pride to the ones that drew the picture,  that another child enjoyed their creation so much! Isn't that special.



Rory has been enjoying the Selfish Crocodile book so it was no surprise that he drew an environment for the Croc!

Hallie is drawing a magnificent tree for her chimps. Look at that detail!

Stevie,Ava and Ted drew an Icy area for  the penguin.




Ted spent the whole afternoon upstairs enjoying this Zoo. He made connections to the books available " Sharp teeth, chomp,chomp" He said before placing the crocodile ontop of the Selfish Crocodile book- "Look the same!" Clever connections Ted



Emma loved doing drawings with all of the colours and spent time placing the lids on both sides of the pens.

The giraffes are happy...Look at all those leaves they have to eat! Ava was to thank for that.

Ava mulls over what environment she will make next.

How do we make an enclosure? How resourceful are Chloe and Stevie bringing in a hula hoop to form the perfect circle! Cool idea.
