The Big Good Wolf

This week has been incredibly busy for the little foxes and Otters. We have been adventurers, builders, scientists, authors, artists and much, much more.





We were very excited to receive two letters this week. They were addressed to us and we had to help Miss Sullivan and Mrs Lewis read them...they kept forgetting how to sound out words and even started reading at the bottom of the page!! It was a good job we were there to help them.  

We had to help the three little pigs make disguises so that they could go and visit Mummy pig without being seen by the Big Bad Wolf. We even disguised our voices. Can you tell who we are in
our video? Zack really made us all laugh with his funny voice, look at our laughing faces in the photo.

We found out that the Big Bad Wolf wasn't really Big and Bad. He was Big and Good. He didn't really want to eat the little pigs at all he just wanted to be their friend but didn't know how to use kind words and hands like us. We thought about how we would let other children know we wanted to play with them. We followed the wolves footprints to find him hiding happily in our friendly school.






We were very busy being scientists this week, we continued to build houses in our investigation area and experimented with different blowing implements to see if they would blow down. We even recorded our results like real scientists. Our safety conscious builders and architects were busy designing and constructing stick houses whilst wearing the appropriate safety wear. Lucas persevered with a variety of joining techniques and finally mastered double sided sticky tape. The favoured
treasury tags and split pins that we used last week for making books didn't work so well for this job. Our funky fingers were tying knots in string and ribbon.

Outside there was a lot of excitement when the real bricks were found. The construction workers made cement by mixing sand and water and built a very sturdy and strong brick house. They troweled the cement on very skilfully. A house of sticks was made with our willow tunnels and a rainproof roof attached with the pegs. Lots of our FS1 friends were interested to see what we were building. We attached our bamboo windows with elastic bands.

We have been wonderful writers this week and have made WANTED posters and written our own story maps. Our wanted posters have been put up all around the school. We thought about where best to place them. We decided that busy places where lots of children and parents walk through would be the best.

Some of us used the app puppet pals to narrate the story of 'The Three Little Pigs.' Mrs Lewis will put some of these onto the blog next week....we used very descriptive language and remembered all of the story. Mr Scarisbrick helped us with how to move the characters on the ipads.

On Miss Sullivan's funky fingers table we could build a sugar cube house...we weren't allowed to use our fingers only the Victorian sugar nippers. They were very tricky for little fingers.

We can't wait for all of the fun learning next week. We have so much to share with you...we are looking forward to telling you about 'Strictly Come Learning'....watch this space.
