**Book Week**
We are celebrating Book Week Scotland. We’ve been sharing and exploring lots of different stories. We read ‘Shhh!’ by Sally Grindley and made a castle just like the giant’s in our block play area. We added details like a drawbridge and towers.
‘I made a tower.’
‘I put lots of stuff all around it for protection.’
‘A giant lives there.’
We also looked a nursery rhymes book and put Humpty Dumpty on his wall. He fell down!
‘I was trying to get him to sit up so we could knock him down.’
Curious about Numbers
Recently we have been very curious about numbers. We’ve been playing lots of different games that allow us to explore and talk about numbers.
