Retelling the story
This week our story has been Handa's Surprise. We used the picture cards to sequence the story and used them to retell the story.
Our sound hunt today promoted lots of discussion. Children helping others using some great positional language about where to find the sounds.
The people toys were very popular today. Great narratives introduced into their play and discussion about how the people were different from each other.
We listened to the story of Aladdin when a pantomime visited our school. It was great fun and we enjoyed joining in with cheers and boos and hisses!
After reading Lost in the museum we had our own game of hide and seek in the classroom. We used hotter and colder signs to get closer to finding the bear. We worked really well as a class to find it!
We have turned our house outside into the three bears cottage this week. We have been enjoying retelling the story with the props
The children used the puppets to retell the story of Goldilocks. it was lovely to hear story language used in their play; "once upon a time..."
We played a game of hockey kokey to practise using the positional language in and out.
We listened to the story of Rosie’s walk. We talked about where Rosie went on her walk and words to describe how she moved, eg over, across, under. We then used the teddy to match the positional words.
Using the puppets and storybooks to act out a narrative in provision.
The children played with the puppets to tell stories drawing on vocabulary based on their experience of books. "I am the wicked queen." "I am the princess" they said.
