This week, Reception have been looking at the traditional tale 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. We have had a great time working through a D&T project making chairs and discussing the different types of materials you might use to make chairs for different purposes. The children also used simple co-ordinates to draw traditional tales characters to fill up their town on a map.
This week Reception have been learning the story of 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' and acting it out in class. We have had a focus on adjectives and produced some great pictures with all of the descriptive words the children could think of to talk about their character.
This week Reception have had a great time learning and innovating 'The Enormous Turnip'. The children acted out the traditional tale playing the characters and they had the option to draw a story map, a story board or make a short book to describe what happens. We had some fun and interesting changes to the original story.
This week we have been learning our new traditional tale 'The Three Little Pigs' and have made finger puppets for the children to perform in the class theatre. They also worked on making strong houses that the wolf's huffing and puffing would not knock down. We have also been looking at capacity to find different measurements, looking at full, half- full and empty.
