Alex also wrote the beginning of the story of the Gruffalo and produced a great storyboard:

"Once upon a time there was a little mouse.  A fox met the mouse and the mouse looked good.  Where are you going little brown mouse?  I'm going to have tea with a Gruffalo."

Following a PE lesson where the children were orienteering, Olivia chose to make a map of the school grounds during Child Initiated:
