Custard's cat flap decorated for Christmas

We have been reading a book about Greedy Cat and how he ate too much on Christmas Day and when he tried to squeeze himself through the cat door he got stuck. Katie kindly pushed him out and when she did the door came out and it ended up around his middle !!!! We are enjoying the story and noticed that Greedy Cat's cat flap was rather fancy- surrounded by tinsel. It got us thinking about how many of us decorate our cat or dog flaps !!!!

Stephanie has a cat called Custard and we have heard a lot of stories about Custard throughout the year - including some rather naughty things along with things that made us all laugh like the time he tried to catch the raindrops as they ran down the glass window!!!!!

Stephanie went home and decorated Custard's cat door and her Mum Joanne sent us this email.




Hi Room 6
Here is Custards Christmas cat door.
It is a bit like Greedy cats one.. but I think Custard has more tinsel on his!
I am not sure what he thinks of it, he has checked out the Christmas tree and he was very sensible, no climbing or messing around with the decorations.
Maybe he thinks this cat door is just all part of the christmas decoration theme going on, ........
or otherwise he has become a bit fancy and thinks all cat doors should look like this!!
have a good fun day and hope you enjoy your fancy lunch
Joanne

Thanks Stephanie and Joanne

Week 9 Term 3 2010 -

This week we had been busy preparing for our production of 'Footprints through story land'. Room 6 are bears in the production so we have been making masks to wear and have had to try on our costumes. We can't wait until next week when we can show our family and friends our dance - our time to shine on the stage.

Carol (Blake's Nana) has worked with us on the computer this term as we sorted the photos we had taken of man made and natural features. We used the computer programme 'inspiration' to show our learning. Click on each image to enlarge it.
