What a great week! Our activities were based around the story The three little pigs. We've acted out the story with costumes and puppets. We've had the straw, twigs, bricks and characters in the tuff tray to retell the story and build the houses. We've explored the properties of materials and built structures using 3D shapes. We've painted and coloured in pictures. In one of of versions of the story, the wolf told the pigs to be ready at a certain time so we made clocks - we weren't going to be caught out by the wolf! In the woods this week we explored new growth, especially the wild garlic. Some of the children thought they saw a tiger - but it was only the local cat.

We've been observing the seeds we planted. Our beanstalks are getting much taller and some are almost as high as the giant's castle! The children will be bringing their plants home next week.
