Our story this week was 'The Three Little' Pigs. The children enjoyed listening to the story and joining in with the phrase "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down." We discussed the differences between different versions of the story. The children retold the story and recalled some refrains, such as, “little pig, little pig, please let me in,” and, “not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.”

The children enjoyed building houses for the Three Little Pigs in our building site using their tools.

We played The Three Little Pigs board game, which helped us to take turns, subitise/count the numbers on the dice and count the correct number of jumps to move our counter.

Throughout the week we collaged houses using straw and sticks and stamped bricks on using paint and sponges. We selected which character we would like to make, either a little pig or the wolf. We painted paper plates and added on other materials.

We learnt all about the number 1, we focused on recognising, forming, subitising and counting to one.

We practised our cutting skills, focusing on holding scissors correctly, how to hold the paper to allow us to cut along lines and how to twist the paper rather than our hands.

We celebrated ‘Whole School Writing Day’ by becoming superheroes. The children loved dressing up in their masks. We did some great ‘talk for writing,’ where the children talked about their special superhero power, their superhero name and what they wanted to do with their powers. The children designed their own superhero costume and labelled their picture with their super hero name, ‘Super….(insert name).’ We also acted out some scenes for our comic strips, thinking about their actions and what they would say.
