Reception and the 3 Bears

Reception class recently explored the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears and it inspired LOTS of learning!  Children made and tasted porridge, using all of their senses when playing with dry oats and watching closely for changes as the oats were heated.  They worked collaboratively in house teams to produce a collage of characters from the story.  Classes also brought in Goldilocks stories from home, to learn about authors and different versions of a story.  The story even helped learning in maths when children used props from the story sack to practise mathematical vocabulary relating to size.
