  9. I like this blog Mr Harwood. I haven’t read this book before so I will be asking some reception children next week what is it about. I hope that reception enjoy What’s in the egg, Little Pip?

  10. What’s in the egg, little pip?

    Literacy:

    Mummy thought pip could help dad keep the egg warm as pip had grown up to be responsible. Mum had a lot of confident in pip, but pip thought he was still a little baby.

    Mum reassured pip that she was still her baby and no matter what both mum and dad will love both of them

    My sentence:

    I think mum and dad think pip is old enough to help them. That’s why in the story mum explains to pip that she can help dad keep the egg warm and safe.

    Maths:

    I have measured the egg. here are the measurements of the egg.

    Height: 5cm.
    Width: 3cm.

    I have noticed it very hard to get an accurate measurement as eggs come in different shape and size.
