Exploring the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’

This week, as part of our special ‘Express Yourself’ celebrations, we have been focusing on reading. We decided that it is fun to read everywhere. Take a look where we took our favourite books!
The Reception children have been thinking about the initial sounds in words. We looked carefully for words beginning with different sounds and used our special Spotter Glasses to help us!

Exploring the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ has been lots of fun. We acted out the story and took on the roles of the pigs and the big bad wolf.

In the role play we worked on The Three Pigs’ Building Site and in The Architect’s Office. We were designing houses and then using the construction equipment to help us build our models.

The Reception children have been investigating the properties of different materials. We wondered which materials the big bad wolf would be able to blow the furthest. We used an air pump to help us gets lots of ‘huff and puff’! It was lots of fun and we found out that a house made out of leaves would blow much further away than a house built of stone!
