We made porridge and learnt how to stay safe when cooking. We tried different toppings on our porridge, such as sugar, syrup and chocolate sauce. We talked about which ones we liked best.
We made masks and puppets of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and used these to retell the story,
We have also been learning about size. This morning we have been learning how to compare two things, saying whether one is bigger or smaller than the other, and how to order things by size, going from the biggest to the smallest or the smallest to the biggest. We ordered ourselves by height in our groups and practised the mathematical languages by thinking of sentences for our group, e.g "Jack is bigger than Blue," or " Reece is smaller than Harry."
Then we explored lots of activities to help us learn about comparing and ordering by size and using mathematical language to talk about size.
We had lots of pictures from the Goldilocks story which we ordered from biggest to smallest.
We had a small, medium and large puzzle. We fitted the pieces together and talked about what it was that was getting bigger in the picture. Luke was very good at using full sentences to talk about which were the biggest and smallest things.
We sorted the compare bears according to their size.
We ordered towers of multilink from biggest to smallest.
We sorted welly boots by size. We agreed though that when you have a pair of shoes they need to be the same size!
We used different sized playdough cutters to make small, medium and large playdough cakes!
We did a colouring challenge sheet where we had to colour the tallest thing blue and the shortest thing red.
We've still got more exiting Goldilocks themed activities ahead this week - tomorrow we'll be learning about high and low notes in music as we sing a song about the Three Bears and on Friday we're going to explore lots of different materials to see which makes the best bed!
