The Enormous Watermelon

To help us celebrate World book week we have been reading the Enormous Watermelon by
Brenda Parkes and Judith Smith
All our work this week has been linked to this book.
We started by thinking about the word enormous and drew lots of enormous things like a giant and a giraffe.
Then we enjoyed reading the book and getting to know the story.
In the story old Mother Hubbard calls lots of Nursery Rhyme characters to help her pull it home.So we then sang lots of Nursery Rhymes and learnt about Little Miss Muffet and Jack and Jill.
We looked at a slice of watermelon and tasted it, and learnt lots of interesting facts about watermelons.
Did you know that they grow in Spain and Brazil and they are vegetables!!
On Thursday we all dressed up as book characters and our teachers were Jack and Jill and Little Miss Muffet.
We have really enjoyed this book and will be finding another exciting book to share in our class very soon.
