Today we read the beautiful story ‘Paper Dolls’ by Julia Donaldson. This book is very special and it helps the reader to understand how things can change over time and how things can become lost. We had a big discussion about the meaning of the story, especially what happened to the little girl. At the beginning of the story her Mum helps her to make paper doll chains and eventually they disappear. When the little girl becomes a Mum many years later she teaches her daughter how to make paper dolls and the cycle continues. We followed up this story by making our own paper doll chains. The children created their paper dolls to depict themselves and we have displayed these in our classroom.
Here are our beautiful creations:
