Stick Man

The children are exploring the story of Stick Man, by Julia Donaldson, over the festive season. In the story, Stick Man is picked up by several people and animals who want to use him for different things such as a mast for a sandcastle and an arm for a snowman. All he wants to do is back to the tree where he lives with his Stick Lady and their 3 Stick children. It is a beautiful journey of imagination. Eventually Santa turns up to help Stick Man get back home, after they have delivered all the children's Christmas gifts of course. The children have collected sticks in the park. We would now like the children to work with their families to turn their stick into something else. How good is your imagination? Google might lend you a hand.  Please return your new ‘stick’ to nursery on Monday or take a photo of what you did with it. All returned sticks will form part of our Stick Man display. Why not borrow Stick Man from the library and have a read at home together. Stick Man animation will also be televised over the Christmas period on BBC One.
