Houses and homes- Literacy, reading and D&T

Last week the children thought of all the things that they wanted to find out about our topic: Houses and Homes. We wrote lots of questions down and we hope to answer them over the term.

This week we are focussing on: The 3 little pigs. The children wanted to find out a bit about the three types of houses that they made. We thought that this was a perfect opportunity to practice retelling the story using a story map and introducing adjectives.

Being able to retell a story is such a skill. In our group reading sessions this week the children will have the chance to play with a range of puppets that we have and work in small groups retelling some well known traditional tales.

In D&T this week we will be carrying on with our rotation so that all children work with myself (Mrs Thorpe) looking at structures, Mrs Hall who will be cooking, Miss Richards who will be looking at the seasons and also an independent group who will be building with construction bricks. Once all children have cooked we will post the delicious recipe on the blog for you all to try at home!
