This week, we have been reading the book Firefly Home. This is a story all about a firefly called Florence who gets lost. She travels to lots of different places to help her to find her way home. Miss Bramham and Miss Spence have worked with their groups to sequence and retell the story this week and talk about different events that take place, whilst we have all learnt the vocabulary; lost spot, fly and fast.

We used the story as a stimulus to explore the theme of light and dark. The children recognised that when it is dark it is nighttime in the story and the lights were lots of different things seen by Florence. They were very excited to pretend to be lost fireflies using finger lights in the dark den.

We even had a a go at drawing fireflies. Ivy was so excited by the dark den that she drew that too!
