The Tiger Who Came to Tea

For this challenge, we would like you to recreate the tea party Sophie and her Mom had with the Tiger with play (or even real) food. You might even have a tiger who could join you. Take a photo of your tea party and post it to our Twitter page. Tell us what the tiger enjoyed eating the best. Alternatively, if you don't have any play food, why not write a menu with all sorts of wonderful, tasty treats on that the tiger would just love to eat. It could be anything you like. From a sky high tower of chocolate profiteroles to a quadruple burger stack with extra bacon, cheese and gherkins. You can use the template we have here.

There's an Alien in your Book

In this story, a poor little alien crash lands in the book and breaks his spaceship! Oh no! We would like you to design/make a new space ship for him! You could junk model a space ship (raiding the recycling box is perfect for this activity) and decorate it with lots of buttons and cool features. Or model one out of play dough. You could even build one out of lego! If you don't have many building materials don't worry. Why not draw a space ship design on a piece of paper. Share your spaceship designs on Twitter and tag us in.

Giraffes Can't Dance

First, take a look at 'Giraffe's Can't Dance' on this link 

 https://www.rosedale.walsall.sch.uk/our-curriculum/rosedale-storytime

Gerald had so much rhythm in his heart - and feet - he just needed to find the right song. We would like you to choose your favourite song and come up with a little routine or just let it go and have fun.

You don't have to share it with us, you could just do it for fun at home with your family. However, if you would like to show us then why not upload a short video to twitter showing us a few moments of your funky moves. 

Enjoy :)

Spaghetti with the Yeti

For today's challenge we would like you to revisit the story 'Spaghetti with the Yeti'. Please visit: https://www.rosedale.walsall.sch.uk/our-curriculum/rosedale-storytime to find it.

In the story, George kept mistaking the other creatures for a Yeti. If you met a Yeti, what do you think it would look like? We would like you to draw/paint/collage a picture of your idea of a Yeti. It could be mean and scary looking or just big, cute and fluffy; however you imagine it to be.

Elmer and the Rainbow

The focus story for this Storytime challenge is 'Elmer and the Rainbow' which you can find here https://www.rosedale.walsall.sch.uk/our-curriculum/rosedale-storytime

Rainbows were a huge part of lockdown, a way to show that we were all connected still, even though we'd been apart. They are always a way of spreading a little joy and happiness. In this story Elmer knows how important rainbows are and risks losing his colours to save one! So our challenge to you is to make a patchwork rainbow to honour Elmer's bravery. You can do this using coloured pencils, felts, collage, paint - what ever you like. It can be a little rainbow or a really big one!
