Pride Of Plover

26th January 2024Amy Wood-Samways

Hana and Noah got our yellow T-shirts this week! Both children have done some fantastic re-telling of our Three Billy Goats Gruff story. Hana has worked extremely hard on her speech and phonics sounds and Noah has settled beautifully into our class, and has been using the big boy toilet. We are so so proud of you both – keep it up.

The Three Billy Goats Fluff

25th January 2024Mrs Price

This week we have been learning an alternative version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. This has helped us to answer our case study question “How can the goats and the troll be friends?” The children acted out the story and made the goat’s feet quieter using socks and boots.

As part of our work on British Values in crew we have been learning about democracy. This is what the children said democracy meant to them.

Testing Materials

24th January 2024Amy Wood-Samways

After reading The Three Billy Goats Gruff, we read the story The Three Billy Goats Fluff. In that story, the goats were knitted some boots to help them trip trap over the bridge more quietly, so that they did not disturb the troll. First we had a go at making loud and quiet sounds with our own bodies. We were then scientists and tested a range of materials to see if they helped the goats cross our bridge more quietly, then decided how we could use these to help the goats. We used the BSL signs for agree and disagree, when predicting if the materials would be loud of quiet.

Building Bridges

24th January 2024Amy Wood-Samways

This week we have used soft play and building blocks to create our own bridges for the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We acted out trip trapping over our own bridges in soft play and used small world figures to test our our bridges in the construction area.

Roots of Empathy!

24th January 2024Mrs Renwick

This week in F2 we had a visit from Baby T. The children really enjoyed learning about what he can do and seeing his responses to the different toys. They loved the smiles he made when they sang to him. We look forward to his next visit!

I am the…

Today the children have been pretending to be the troll and the goats in the story of The three billy goats gruff. They have used small world, outdoor construction and drawings and have also been writing speech bubbles.
