Dear Studio Blue,
Remember what appeared over the meeting area this week?
Dax, you said It’s a cage, a green cage, and you also said birdies can’t get out of that. Jemima, you were also thinking about birds; you said: Maybe a bird’s up there. Later you thought other animals might go up there. Maybe a guinea pig!
Blue Bird was up there, too. She was watching and listening. She heard us reading that very funny Elephant and Piggie book, There Is a Bird On Your Head! As we were reading it, Mark wondered, Why do birds build a nest? Ferdinand, you answered: Cause they need a nest to lay eggs. Then Cassie, you added that birds build a nest because they need a home.
There’s a lot about birds going on in the meeting area! We noticed a giant picture of a hawk there. Some of you flew your birds in front of the picture, making shadows there. Do you remember that Blue Bird had some sticks there, too. What could they be for? Camden, you thought maybe for a fire. Is there something else Blue Bird might be using sticks for? Hmm.
(Brief) Museum Visit
Ferdinand, Dax, Vivian and Cassie, you certainly enjoyed our short visit in the museum. You were curious about the art, and spent time in the LAB, drawing on paper and hanging it up, and then in the Process Gallery where you liked the Zoomie that showed what things looked like up close – like your skin and your clothes. And you also did more drawings and hung those up, too.
Blocks
So many of you are making new kinds of buildings, some with flashlights in them. Here are some buildings we’ve seen. And sometimes the blocks are for seeing things in a different way!
We make houses out of blocks. What do birds make homes out of?
