In one of our books we spotted a porthole the characters were looking through. The children showed a strong interest in coming up with own ideas of what they might see if they looked through one so we decided to make our own. We decorated them before taking them around school to see what we could see.

It was lovely to hear the children extending their descriptive language.

“I can see a tall tree.”

“I can see a big field next to the farm.”

“I can see a noisy seagull.”

“I can see a rainbow tree behind Mrs Hanratty.”
