This week, our Reception class brought the seaside into their classroom after reading The Friendship Bench in English. Inspired by the main characters, Flint and Tilly, and their idea of meeting for a seaside picnic with their dogs, the children decided to host their own pretend picnic indoors!
The class worked together to plan the perfect picnic, choosing delicious foods like sandwiches, sausage rolls, cucumber, carrots, and, of course, cake! The children’s imagination and creativity shone as they recreated the fun of a beachside get-together, complete with laughter and lively conversations.
It was a wonderful way to bring the story to life and explore the themes of friendship and fun!
