Our focus story this week has been Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We have based our Literacy and Maths around this.
In Maths the children have looked at capacity, they worked out which bowl / cup belonged to each bear and explained why. They then investigated the capacity of different containers to work out which one would hold the most / least.
The children have acted out the story and in Child Initiated time had the opportunity to use the story props independently. They have sequenced the story and had a go at writing it out. The children have also had a go at writing a letter of apology from Goldilocks to the 3 Bears.
Class 1 made porridge, they used their senses to describe what it looked like, smelt like and tasted like. We added different ingredients to each bowl and the children were able to talk about whether it was sweet, sour etc.
Some children chose to use the chalks to make a map from Goldilocks house to the 3 Bear’s cottage.
