“Scaredy-Cat, Splat!” by Rob Scotton (bestselling author of SPLAT THE CAT, LOVE SPLAT, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS, SPLAT!)
It’s Halloween and Splat is determined to be the scariest cat in the class. Unfortunately he’s just too much of a scaredy-cat. He’s afraid of a little spider, and everyone says his costume looks more silly than scary. But when the lights go back on after a ghost story in the dark, the entire class is scared silly by a small, black, furry creature with a big pumpkin head…who can it be?

Monkey Puzzle Storytime
Our story this week was ‘Monkey Puzzle’ by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler. The children helped AliCaT create a jungle themed story corner. We even found lots of fruit for all the animals to eat…
Welcome back to AliCaT. I hope you have all had a wonderful summer break full of fun and activities. Our new term starts on Monday 10th September 2018. During the break, I have been researching and planning all the projects we will be working on this year. I am excited to start. I hope this year is full of creativity, fun, laughter and lots of learning and developing. That includes me!
Look forward to seeing you all very soon…Best wishes Ali x

Thursday Creative Day is the day the children really look forward to.
