Week 1
This week we have been reading 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. The children have loved getting involved with retelling the story, using their actions to support their understanding of the vocabulary.
We have also been using toy cars to travel along a variety of road maps, going past a shop, river or other places the children have recreated. This supports the children's understanding of the world, as well as their fine motor skills.
Week 2
This week we have been reading 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' again. The children have been really enthusiastic when retelling the story and using their actions to recreate the movements and the noises made throughout the story.
We have enjoyed using pipettes and paint to dye fabric to create the river and the mud from the story, supporting our creativity, our understanding of the world and our fine motor skills.
We also took the opportunity to go around the school on our very own teddy bear hunt, going through different parts of the school retelling the story in a way that made it real to the children.
Week 3
This week we have been reading the book Naughty Bus. The children have been using their creativity and developing their fine motor skills for cutting, sticking and painting by making junk model buses.
The children have also enjoyed learning new songs and rhymes which they practised at Rhyme Time.
Week 4
This week we have been reading Naughty Bus story, we have enjoyed looking for where the naughty bus has been each morning, finding him in places such as on top of the board, in the tree and on top of the art easel.
We have been using our cutting and sticking skills to create pictures of transport as well as acting out a bus route within our outside play, supporting their gross motor skills and their understanding of the world.
