The Tiger Who Came to Tea

This week we have read The Tiger Who Came to Tea. We have been using new vocabulary to describe the tiger's behaviour, such as polite, rude, considerate. We have been using these words in class to reinforce the language and understanding. We have also been thinking about which other animals might come to tea and how they might behave - we thought a giraffe would be too tall and knock the chandelier off the ceiling! The children have been using some stuffed animals and resources in the construction area to make houses and tables so the animals can have tea. Also, we have been learning about the work of artist Steven Brown - he paints animals in colourful ways. We have discussed his work and then we have painted tigers - we have learnt how to use a thin paintbrush to make careful strokes for the tiger's fur. Imagine a tiger who comes for tea looking like ours!!!
