The book we chose for the Poppins Book Nook ‘When I Grow Up’ Theme was
When I Grow Up by Al Yankovic
We also read the following books.
Are reading our books, the boys decided to make a fire engine that a fire fighter would drive. After collecting a large cardboard box from Bunnings, they set to work.
We also talked about what a Chef and Baker would do. For this they baked some cupcakes and then decorated them. B decided that he would rather be a taste tester than a chef or baker.
We also completed this book that I made:
When I Grow Up
