Roald Dahl - "The Enormous Crocodile" Primary 1 English Week theme at CHS

Yearly, CHS does a huge English week, where a book theme is selected, and we parents gotta start cracking our heads on making costumes out of recycled materials for a presentation or mini-parade.

Usually, the P1 and P2 levels are more hands-on about it (as usual yea... still play-years).

So for this year 2017, Ethan (P1) was given the theme "The Enormous Crocodile" by Roald Dahl. He had to make a mask! Daddy helped to join carton boxes up for the shape, and then I did the securing, and arranged the kids to do the painting. Ethan decided to add in some blood and gore (the bloodied teeth and arm) since this crocodile likes to eat children.

Here's what the trio all chipped in to help with:

we didn't have green, so we mixed blue and yellow!

adding in the 'blood'

Here's pics from his class today:

It was 100% participation in Ethan's class! Can you spot him?

And the best part... he won a medal!!! 

For Ashton (P3 this year), he only had to do a rap based on the story "Moby Dick". I wish the school had provided a simplified version of the story to read. Instead, searching online gave me links to hours of videos which was impossible to finish. Eventually, I found an old animation of 45min and we watched it as a bedtime show last night. 

Here's some pictures from Ashton's participation when he was in P1 and P2:

P1 theme - "Around the World in 80 days" - make a costume to represent anyone from anywhere in the world. 

P2 theme - "Alice in Wonderland" - make a costume as any character from the story
