World Book Day
Last week was World Book Day and as a school, we used this as our theme all week long.
All areas of our class were book themed...
In our play dough area we used toy hammers, nails, screwdrivers and wrenches while reading fact books about tools.
On our maths table we matched and ordered numbered ducks while reading 5 Little Ducks book.
In our small world tray, we played with the story props from Dear Zoo to help us retell the story.
In the investigation tray we explored mini beasts while reading books about insects.
In our sand tray we measured and counted dinosaurs while reading Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs.
On our writing table we made our own books.
We invited the year 3 children in to share books with us.
We dressed up as our favourite book characters...
Following on from Book Week, we have been reading the traditional tale of The Gingerbread Man.
We retold the story wearing character hats.
We made Gingerbread Men puppets and used them to help us retell the story.
We designed our own Ginger Bread men on paper and used our plan to recreate our design in our biscuit.
In our busy fingers we really enjoyed making cheerio lace necklaces. It is very fiddly so good practice to strengthen tiny fingers. We practiced our maths by counting how may we had put on our lace. A really good and fun activity to try at home!
