F1 retell Goldilocks and the Three Bears

F1 had a great time this morning, acting out the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  Some children took on the roles of Goldilocks, Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear and Baby Bear, whilst the rest told them what happened next in the story.

The children did brilliantly, even using different voices for their roles as the bears.  Well done!

        

The Hub

The children had lots of fun today making Jam sandwiches. They put their own butter on and then waited patiently for the jam. Afterwards they enjoyed eating them . Both the children then helped tidy up.

 

 

 

Porridge Tasting

We are currently reading Goldilocks and The Three Bears so what better thing to start off our cooking with than porridge.  As part of our ‘I Wonder Wednesday’ the children were given clues as to what we might be doing.  We all had a good think!

No one knew what the oats were, although Phoebe and Amelia thought they might be seeds.

Gracie guessed that the three, different sized spoons belonged to the 3 Bears.

Some of the children helped to measure out the oats, milk and water, then we decided to put it in the microwave to cook.  It changed from being very runny to thick and ‘sticky’.

EVERYONE had a try, which was fabulous!  Well done F1.

Happy Mark-Makers!

Some of our F1 children started the day with a really good mark-making session.  Well done for sharing the pens and paper too!

Outdoor in FS2

Our new Foundation Stage 2 children have loved getting outside and enjoyed exploring our fabulous outdoor area this week.

 

Outdoor play has so many developmental benefits.  It helps our children to develop self-confidence, independence and self-esteem. 

They also become aware of limits, boundaries and challenge in their play.

Our children get the opportunity to develop their social skills by listening, paying attention and sharing play experiences – this helps them explore their feelings and develop self-discipline.

       

Outdoor is a great time for their physical development too… our climbing wall proved a great challenge, it got us problem solving and using our gross motor skills, working out how to pull and push and where to place our hands and feet can be tricky at times! It also showed how determined our children are, as they tried and tried again until they got to the top, never giving up, well done everyone!
