Nursery - The Tiger Who Came To Tea

 

In nursery this week, children listened to

 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' by Judith Kerr.



We talked about the story and whether the tiger was right to eat all of the food or not.

Children role played the tea party


And made our own plates for the tiger
 just in case he came back....



...but he never did.

Whatever Next!

As part of our topic, we have been reading Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy.

The children enjoyed drama activities, such as Hot Seating and Role Play.

While Hot Seating, the children used mobile phones to ask Baby Bear some questions about his journey to the moon. Of course, Baby Bear kept his helmet on during the session.





The children loved being in the Role Play and Book Corner acting out Baby Bear's adventures to the moon.

Nursery - Michael Rosen Day

 Michael Rosen Day

Today, November 13th, is Michael Rosen Day.

To celebrate this wonderful author, we looked at the story

We're Going on a Bear Hunt, which was written by him.

We listened to him read the story (a link to the video can be found at the end of this post), and went on a sensory bear hunt of our own.




In the story, the family encounter many different things, such as...

Long, wavy grass



A deep, cold river.



Thick, oozy mud.



A big, dark forest.



A swirling, whirling snowstorm.



A narrow, gloomy cave.



We talked about what would happen if we went on our very own bear hunt and where he would hide in our school.

Children designed the wellies they would wear on the hunt...




Children also drew and coloured their own bear faces.



Here is a video of Michael Rosen reading the story as promised.


Enjoy!
