This half term, the topic in Reception has been ‘Once Upon a Time.’ The children have read a variety of traditional tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel and Goldilocks & The Three Bears. They have also listened to alternative versions of traditional tales such as Jack and the baked beanstalk, Goldilocks and just 1 bear and The 3 little wolves and the big bad pig.
They have been applying their phonics skills through creating ‘wanted’ posters for the big bad wolf, drawing story maps and writing their own versions of the stories. The children have also practised retelling and acting out the stories, as well as playing with small world scenes.
