Inspired by our BIG BOOK 'Bad luck Duck', Mel and I decided to emphasize the words creeping, peeping and spying which the children came across in the book while reading it. We call them the 'WOW' words. These we use to try and increase their vocabulary and encourage to use them in context in their sentence writing.
My class was split into four groups for the week and worked together as a team:
 |
| The spyers |
 |
| The creepers |
 |
| The sneakers |
 |
| The peepers |
With the help of the Grade 1 teachers each group is given a time during the day to creep up and 'spy' on what is happening in the Grade 1 classrooms. If they come back without getting caught and can tell us what is happening in the classes, they can put a 'GOT YOU' sticker on their doors but if they are noticed the Grade 1's can give them a sticker 'GOT YOU' too. Great fun has been had and the children definitely know now how quietly goose had to creep and peep on fox to chase him away to help save duck!
