A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood ........
For further Gruffalo fun http://www.gruffalo.com/
This week we have been looking at one of our favourite stories The Gruffalo. The story took us on our own journey through the forest where we looked at woodland textures and colours. This linked us in with the beginning of the autumn season.
We spent time discussing the characters the Gruffalo and mouse, how they behaved and why.
The children decided it is important
to be a good friend to everyone. We looked at the different characters in the story and their similarities and differences.
We are the same because "We all have socks on" "We've got hair and eyes" "We're at school"
We are different because "I've got pretty bobbles you've not got any" "I'm a girl you're not"
We all have pets and they are different. We have dogs, kittens, pheasants, horses, chickens, fish and sheep.
We used pictures showing different body parts of the Gruffalo's body and tried to find them on the Gruffalo hiding in the rice.
We created our own Gruffalo using chocolate dough and different loose parts from around the nursery.
We set up small world version of the story to the encourage children to
retell the story. The children created the characters they created in the dough area to support their play.
