Literacy
In literacy, we are busy exploring both traditional and fractured fairy tales. We are enjoying comparing different versions of traditional tales such as The Three Little Pigs, and The Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. We are learning about the characteristics of fairy tales such as the traditional beginning, the components of magic, and events happening in 3s or 7s. We will be using fairy tales to increase our fluency by performing small plays.In addition to the plays, we will be exploring engineering concepts by creating solutions for the characters in fairy tales. We may create a new bed for Goldilocks or a parachute for Jack to help him escape from the giant. In order to create these inventions, we will be using recyclable materials and likely a lot of tape! If you have toilet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, cereal boxes or other odd and ends that you would like to donate, we would appreciate them. We could also use masking tape, duct tape and pipe cleaners.
