Once upon a time…

Oak Class learnt all  about Fairy Tales! This week we have started with Goldilocks and The Princess and the Pea.

 

 

Our role play has miraculously turned into the three bears cottage – 3 of everything !

 

Lots of table laying, sitting on various sized chairs and resting in three different size beds!

The three different sized wellie boots have proved a big hit for budding members of the bear family!

The water area has been a hive of activity all week with porridge making. Too hot, too salty, too cold, too runny, too lumpy and so on !

Everyone has had a go at constructing a lego 3 bears cottage …

and written their own story map for Goldilocks and the Three Bears. A story map , tells the story through a series of pictures. Oak class made some truly magnificent story maps with so much detail!

Here’s an example story map and an idea of the children’s work below…

Our number work has been all about 1 more or 1 less than a given number, with a tad of estimating thrown in too.

The writing table has been busy with character colouring and story map writing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have all made a bed for the princess from the story : The Princess and the Pea and counted our mattresses carefully.

Our outside classroom has changed to a garden centre which has proved very popular. Our tricky words this week were ‘ to’ and ‘into’ … the rest of the week was spent on The Big Question, circle time, RE – special members of our family-  and we started practising for our Christmas Show!! Please, please have a go at singing the words that went home on Tuesday with the children…I can’t wait to hear all the children singing loudly on Monday!

Have a great weekend.
