Reflecting on and sharing our work to date with a visitor in the classroom;

What did we do? “we put one drop of cereal in the stuff that we made!”

Why?? “to keep them safe”, “we had to hide them”, “some people ate them”……… “we were thinking about making a box”, “so nobody ate them”, “so they would not get squashed”

The cornflakes are ”easy to break, like hard but easy to break”, “like paper but still easy to break”, “flat”……” you can not put it back together again”.

Delicate means……” its easy to break”, “its crispy”, “its tasty”, “its yummy”!!!

We think about PRECIOUS objects we own, Ms Cross and Vanessa sharing objects they have brought in. Wrapped in tissue paper inside a box, to keep it clean and safe, its almost 49 years old, Ms Cross would give her precious object to someone else. Vanessa’s precious object didn’t cost a lot of money, its small but not shiney. If she lost it she would be upset, she waited a long time to get it.

Everyone thinks about the precious objects they own…….Eamons Daddy found found a rare rock under a pile of rocks, when he was building a house in Dublin, its a golden nugget and Eamon keeps it in his piggy bank. Rosas granny keeps a special book about her wedding. There is a medal for soccer, a robot that can jump up and down, two angels Daisys nanny gave her, a sticker book, a trophy, and a crystal ball wrapped in paper.
