Week 2 - Goldilocks and the Three Bears
This week we learnt about the story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears.' We did a range of activities linked to the story.
In Maths we focused on learning about size. We learnt the words; 'big,' 'medium,' 'small,' 'biggest' and 'smallest.' We ordered the objects by size. We practised this skill alongside our cutting skills when we cut out the different sized objects and matched them to Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear and Baby Bear. The children also counted the correct number of buttons onto the bears. They had to use one-to-one correspondence, counting one number for one button and had to stop at the cardinal number. We learnt all about 2, recognising, subitising, counting and forming it. We sorted items into 2 and not 2 piles to support these skills.
We practised our number recognition and gross motor skills. The children had to throw the beanbag to the correct numbered hoop.
In Phonics, we were continuing to learn about syllables, beats in words. The children had to orally blend their friends names broken into syllables and find the matching picture.
For Literacy we drew a picture of our favourite character in the story retold the story in our own words. We learnt about recipes and followed the instructions to make our own porridge. We used our numbers to order the instructions and made it all by ourselves. We discussed the importance of staying healthy by washing our hands before we touch food. The best part was eating it!
We also made 'Bear Bread' using bread, chocolate spread, bananas and raisins. We discussed the proportions of the face and where everything should go. The children used their fine motor skills to spread the chocolate independently, they also independently cut up the bananas using blunt knives to create them and really enjoyed eating it for their snack too!
In PSHE, we learnt about the people who can help us when we’re in lots of different situations, such as our family, friends, teachers, but also the wider community like firefighter, police officer, doctors, nurses etc. The children enjoyed looking after our sick teddy bear and role-playing doctors to help him. They leant what an emergency is and how we can contact someone if there is an emergency.
We had a visit from Sally from the dentist. She came to carry out a quality assurance check on our toothbrushing programme and was very pleased with it and how independent the children are. She read a story to the children about the importance of looking after our teeth and the different ways we can do that.
