Our topic this term is Fairy Tales. We have crammed a lot into our first 3 weeks! We have looked at Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs and Jack and the Beanstalk. We have made very cute paper plate pigs to go on the wall and have designed our own castles to go on top of our beanstalks. One of our favourite activities included learning about housing types and going for a walk to explore the different kinds of housing – bungalows, semi-detached, detached and terraced. We have also collected sticks from the wildlife to try and build a house like the middle piggy. We have had lots of play opportunities in our class to tie in with our Fairy Tales such as oats and 3 bowls and 3 teddies for goldilocks and building opportunities involving a variety of bricks – lego and jenga blocks.
We had a surprise visit from Chilli the Dragon. We had to follow the trail of sequin stars to our library. He has asked us to help save Fairyland by building a Fairyland in the classroom and learning lots of Fairy Tales. The pupils are very excited about this and have all enjoyed cuddles with our lovely dragon friend.
