During Term 3, Mrs Gardner’s Reception class met some interesting new characters! 

Over 5 sessions, they have been introduced to: 

• Cloud – whose mood changes as quickly as the weather; he can be quite unpredictable 
• Bug – who is sacred to try new things and is learning how to be brave 
• Huggtopus – is very excitable and sometimes overbearing but is also a great friend to make you feel better 
• Cat – can be cranky and bossy but she also knows how to make kind, wise choices and can apologise to and forgive others 
• Lovey Dove – always looking out for others but can also tend to worry too much

Through stories, discussion, some helpful sayings, a little bit of dance, and craft activities, we have learnt some really helpful things from these characters, including: 

• “Its okay to be mad but its not okay to be mean”; and 
• “For something to be fun it must be fun for everyone”.

Each week we did a craft to make the focus character– see us here with our Cat masks and our Huggtopus puppets.
