Our book this week was The Giant Jam Sandwich by John Vernon Lord with Verses by Janet Burroway.
It is an interesting story about a Itching Down a town that has 4 million wasps come to town. The towns people work together to get rid of the wasps by making a giant jam sandwich to trap them in. We recreated some of the scenes in class on Friday. We had to remember what was happening in the picture and then we used things we had and worked as a team to recreate the scenes.
Here is some of the story...
The people made a big loaf of bread.
They hitched it up with a bit of a fuss, to tractors cars and the village bus.
The loaf was left to cool and then... the people watched while 4 strong penguin,
took great big scissors and cut right through.
Everybody clapped and they cut slice two.
A digger drove up and dumped out the butter and they spread it out with a flap and a flutter.
Truck and tractor, slap and slam, they did the same with the strawberry jam.
Suddenly the sky was humming, all 4 million wasps were coming!
They smelt that jam they dived and struck, and they ate so much that they all got stuck.
The other slice came down KERSPLAT! on top of the wasps and that was that!
Ka rae koutou! It looks like you had HEAPS of fun exploring this book and creating scenes from the story. I remember listening to The Giant Jam Sandwich when I was little. Thanks for sharing your fun!
