This week in the nursery we made a wall display of the three little pigs, We made a house from actual straw, a house from lollipop sticks and we couldn’t use bricks for the third house so we used cardboard and painted it to look like bricks.

We did a puppet show with the three little pigs and the big bad wolf and we enjoyed it.

We also put on masks and acted out the story.

In the Active Learning Zone we looked at the six books we have been reading. We had to pick our favourite book and we had to think about why we like it. We recorded our ideas on a recordable speech bubble.

Then we looked at our 3 Little Pigs Floor book. We looked at the pictures we took last week. Then we found our name and stuck it in the book beside our favourite book.

We got a surprise and had to solve clue’s about the three little pigs. We have looked at different  Three Little Pig story videos and we are also starting to read different three little pigs stories. Here are all the books that we are finding out about.

The Nursery children came into nursery and found a letter. The letter was addressed to the boys and girls. It asked them to solve the clues. Inside the box there was a pig, a hammer, a toolbox, straw, a brick, a stick and a number 3. They had to think why someone left these clues. We talked about what stories might have a pig and the number 3 in it. We decided that it must have been the 3 little pigs that wrote the letter. We are going to be investigating the story of the 3 little pigs.

These are some of the quotes by the children.

“What is the problem?”

“It is crunchy. It smells like hay”

“This is a bit scarey cos I don’t know what the clue is?”

“It’s about a pig who’s three”

“The wolf’s got a big mouth”

“He eats the ones with the sticks and the straw house”

“The wolf’s face went red when he couldn’t blow the brick house down”

Hello world, welcome to our nursery blog.
We are one of the oldest nurseries in Dundee being established in 1938 to cater for the needs of the local community most of whom were employed in the Jute Mills.
We can offer 40 places in both the morning and afternoon for children between the ages of 3 and 5.
We have been having great fun over the last few weeks with our play experiences being about demolition and building, with many of the children experiencing the demolition of the Alexander Street Multis during the Summer.
