Rhino’s Don’t Eat Pancakes by Anna Kemp and Sara Ogilvie
Daisy's mum and dad are always too busy to listen to a word that she says, so when, one day, she tells them that a big purple rhino has just walked into the house and taken a chomp of her pancake, guess what? That's right - nobody listens!
But there's a surprise in store for Mum and Dad when they discover that a big purple rhino has gone missing from the zoo. Perhaps they should have taken more notice of what Daisy had to say. Kids will love this funny story abo
ut a little girl and her most unlikely new friend.
March 1st was Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day and the children have been making their own pancakes out of playdough, exploring how it feels in their hands making lots of different shapes. They have added herbs such as rosemary and lavender and squidged and squeezed their pancakes.
We talked about the different toppings we had on our pancakes at home, such as raspberries, cucumbers and chocolate.
Rhino’s Don’t Eat Pancakes highlights the importance of listening to each other. We have been playing a clapping game where we have to listen to how many claps the teacher does and then copy them. The children have to use their ears and hands and wait for instructions. It is something you could try together at home and see how many claps you can do, or how quick, slow or quiet you can do.
