Will you go on adventures together? You might choose to draw a picture of yourself to show the star what you look like - don't forget your big friendly smile!
Writing 2: Later in the week the children will be using their imagination to design an amazing rocket ship to go and collect their new friend. Design a ship with extreme rocket boosters, glitter power or speed launchers! What colour will you choose? What features does the ship have? Write some sentences to describe your rocket ship and use adjectives to describe for extra impact!
