What did you say?

This blog is a little late, but I've had a very busy bank holiday weekend - my apologies!  This is only going to be a short one as well as I still have a lot to do and it's late.

However, today we've been working with speech bubbles.  Essentially the idea is to find a variety of pictures of cartoon characters (I found it works better if they are interacting with others rather than on their own) and a variety of speech and thought bubbles.  Then you need paper, scissors, glue and pencils.

Unfortunately I forgot to photograph all this stuff before we use it
 Then the idea is to cut out a picture, stick it down, add speech bubbles and write what you think they might be saying.  As well as being fun, this has elements of an educational activity for younger children - using language, considering the emotions of a character, character interaction etc.

Anyway, these are what the kids came up with:
I particularly love the spellings of 'upside down' and 'skippety skippety'
Just for clarity, it is an elephant in a fountain which is just off shot saying he is certain there is no better way to bath.
