Rec Bishop - The Gingerbread Man

RMcCabe - The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Last week we were thinking about The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The children have been using the Ipads to draw trolls, built traps and bridges to help the goats, made trolls' feet with natural resources, used playdough to make troll cookies and written recipes with disgusting ingredients for troll soup. We also conducted an experiment to find out what materials would make the goats' hooves quieter so they could creep over the bridge without waking the troll.

Our cold, snowy day

 We were very excited this morning - Nursery was covered in snow!

Looked what we found when we moved our bridge!

Exploring the frozen snow.

We touched the snow so we knew how it felt.

We had to wrap up warm - the snow was very cold!!

The snow and ice made everything slippy!

We all had snowy gloves!

Traditional tales

We have been looking at the stories Jack and the Beanstalk and the Three Little Pigs.

The Three Little Pigs

We had to make lots of houses for the three pigs out of construction - wooden bricks, stickle bricks, duplo, straw, sticks.

We have also been making pigs in the play dough using eyes, buttons, beads and pipe cleaners.

Outside we have been setting up houses for the pigs to keep safe and making sure they have enough food.

Jack and the Beanstalk

We have been making castles out of the Duplo and playing with a 'real' castle.

We have been working on our number recognition and these clever boys worked together to order numbers 1 to 15.

We hid from the Giant!

We have begun looking at letters and this week was the letter 's'.
