Once upon a time…

This week has been filled with stories, fairy tales and lots of imagination. We have been exploring the story of The Three Little Pigs and helping to retell the story with a range of  fun activities.

Our Gruffalo story scene has been popular and now we have been creating our own deep, dark wood as the background setting. Daisy even drew a fabulous picture of the Gruffalo at home and brought it into nursery to share with us. We were all very impressed with the super detail she had added to her picture and we knew right away which book character it was!

Our house corner has even become a fairy tale castle for us to explore many prince and princess stories….

Some of us were developing our measuring skills when we tried to measure the size of Jack’s beanstalk using the magnetic sticks. Kaiden even checked to see how tall it was. He was able to report that “It was bigger than Mrs Waddell!”

This morning we became our own story tellers when a large piece of white paper stuck to the floor was transformed into a giant treasure map, there was a forest, waterfall and even a Volcano. Imaginations and creativity were in full flow …..

“This is the volcano, the lava comes out here” “Look there’s cracks in the ground!” Jude M

“We’re pirates looking for treasure. Its our map. Here’s our ship!” Rio M

“Some dinosaurs have landed on the island!” Hayden
