RMcCabe - Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Last week our story was Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children had a go at so many different activities and tried to extend their learning. Here are some of the activities we had:

We have been using the part-part-whole model to double daddy's dinners! We put baby bears dinner in one side and copied it on the other side, when we slid the food onto daddy's big plate at the top, we counted how much he would eat. We also spotted doubles by rolling two dice and Red group even wrote doubling number sentences and worked out the answers.

Here are some of our playdough bear faces, don't they look great?

The children have been acting out the story in the role play, pretending to make porridge and imagining where the bears went when they left. Some children even wrote shopping lists in case the bears had gone to the shops.

We have started exploring place value this week. The children have used their counting in tens knowledge to make 'ty' (tea) numbers .... twenty...thirty...

Our work with number blocks continues, here the children are finding different ways to make 8.

Most people's favourite job of the week was making their own porridge. They practised changing consistencies by adding milk and talking about what happened. They were using some great vocabulary to describe their porridge; lumpy, runny, sticky, gooey. They also added syrup to make it sweeter.

Finally everyone washed and dried their own bowls and spoons.
