Dear Parents The "wild things" are the characters in our October focus book "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. The story facilitated opportunities to describe a story setting; as well as the characters by recognising that they may be from different places. During our class discussion, the students could make simple inferences like the feelings Max had, and also reflect on Max's decisions. Their appreciation of the story was evident in the big smiles when Max met the wild things, and the imaginative predictions they thought of for the ending of the story. The highlight of listening to the story was learning to dance the "Wild Rumpus" by stamping our feet, showing our claws, and roaring our fiercest roars! We extended the story with writing activities that were displayed on our outside bulletin board: Extension ideas at home: Click on the these story illustrations to find activities based on "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak: Happy Reading!
