The theme this term is Traditional Tales.

Week 1

This week we used The Three Pigs as our inspiration. We started our more formal English lessons with the poem "This Little Piggy went to Market" and Drawing Club we used the book "The Big Bad Pig."

In maths we began our journey beyond 5, thinking of them as "5 and a bit"

We also learnt about the architect Le Corbusier. He used lots of shapes in his designs so we then used a variety of pre-cut shapes to design our own houses.

Week 2

This week's Traditional Tale was The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. We used the poem "London Bridge is falling down" to start our English lessons. 

In Drawing Club we read The 3 Billy Goats Fluff as our inspiration.

We learnt the red words he and me.

We tried to build bridges using only paper. We discovered the paper became stronger by folding or rolling it.

In Maths we continued to build our "5 and a Bit" as a quick way to recognise 6-10.

Week 3

This week's Traditional Tale was The Ugly Duckling. We also sang the poem "2 Little Dickie Birds"

Linked to the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch we went bird spotting in Forest School and then made fat balls.for our bird feeder.

Instead of a story this week  we used the cartoon Road Runner as our inspiration for drawing club.

Week 4

This week's Traditional Tale was "Red Riding Hood". We started our English lessons with the rhyme "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" and learnt the red words we and she.

Our inspiration for Drawing Club was the book "The Wolf who came for Dinner."

It Maths we took our first look at time, and how to read O'Clock on an analogue clock or watch.

We enjoyed playing What's the time Mr Wolf in the outdoor area.
