Term 3- Who lives in the woods?
Week 1
This week we have been getting to know all of the new children that have started with us. We have also talked about our Christmas holidays and what we have been up to. We have used our imagination to guess who lives in the princess castle and shared our ideas. We also worked as a team to solve some counting games on the interactive board. We had a great first week back and have been very busy!
Week 2
This week our story has been 'The Gruffalo' we have really enjoyed learning about the story and enjoying different activities related to the story. We have made stick puppets, masks, colouring pictures, made gruffalo crumble with oats and raisins. We have also had a go at acting out the story in small groups using the puppets we created. We have had a great week!
Week 3
This week our story was 'Were going on a bear hunt' we made stick puppets from the story and acted out what happened. We then made bear biscuits using milk chocolate buttons to create a bear paw. We drew pictures of the bear hunt scene and even got to listen to the story on a tonie box.
Week 4
This weeks story is 'The Three Little Pigs' we had a go at building the house for the pigs out of bricks. We made sure it was secure and big enough for the pigs. We also had a go at pretending to be the wolf blowing down the houses to see which one was the strongest. We went into the hall and had a go at climbing, jumping and balancing for our physical development. We had a very busy week!
Week 5
This week our story was 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' we tasted some yummy porridge and talked about what the bears thought of the porridge. The children agreed with the bears that it was too hot, too cold and some said just right! We then had a tuff tray full of porridge oats and some different sized bowls to serve up for the bears. As part of this terms topic "Into the woods" we thought we would see what creatures we could find in our wood area in the garden. We found lots of worms and enjoyed digging to see how many we could find.
Week 6
This week our story was 'Owl Babies' we enjoyed getting to know the names of the three owls and what happened in the story. We did a beautiful owl scene picture using scissors and glue. We also did some fun valentine themed activities and celebrated love. We have enjoyed our topic this term of some lovely stories based in the woods.
