After reading Julia Donaldson’s Gruffalo stories the children in Year 1 heard that the Big Bad Mouse had been spotted near our school! With great enthusiasm they employed their problem solving and team work skills to devise a trap that could catch the Big Bad Mouse without getting too close. Mr. Raine and Miss Smith were both very impressed at the skills the children used to create their traps, which included tying knots, balancing boxes on sticks as well as lots of communication and team work. Although none of the children managed to catch the Big Bad Mouse, we were pleased to hear that he was spotted leaving the area shortly afterwards!
