This week Nursery engaged wonderfully with their first traditional tale of the year: ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’, We practised retelling it, and used blocks and instruments to accompany the different parts of the story.
We acted out the story both inside and out – small scale and large scale. We set up a river and a bridge in the Woodlands, and experimented with moving in different ways across the bridge.
We later discovered a letter from the troll! He asked us to make him a new bridge, and we had a go at making one out of materials such as Stickle bricks, Duplo, lolly sticks and pegs.
Some of us made some goats, and there were a lot of spectacular trolls created out of playdough, collage, pipe cleaners and beads.
We helped the goats to make marks with different patterns, and we helped the troll by designing a ‘troll soup’ as he was still hungry! We used our mark-making skills to draw the items we wanted to add, and made shopping lists of the things we need to buy.
