Wagtails

Our current focus in Wagtails is ‘Paint a Rainbow: Colours and Flowers’. We have been very busy creating handprint animals from our book of the week ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear’. We have also been selecting materials to collage a yellow duck and blue horse from the story, using different pieces and textures of the same colour.

Wagtails have read Brown Bear, Brown Bear as a class and have explored symbols, pictures and words linked to the story. Some of the children have been arranging different types of bricks to make houses for animals.

Enjoy the rest of your week! :)

Team Wagtails

This term we have been learning about different Fairytales. Our first focus was the Three Little Pigs. Wagtails have been busy building houses with a variety of materials, from bricks, to pom poms, to cream crackers!

Some children thought of their own ideas of materials to build houses with. This included gummy bears, meatballs and pizza! They would then decide whether the house was too strong or whether the big bad wolf would ‘eat, eat, eat the house down!’

Mr Tumble’s very special edition of the classic tale can be found below

Happy New Year to all of our Wagtail families! We have had a busy couple of weeks!

Our topic at the moment is ‘Around the world in 80 days’ and the story that we have been basing our play and learn activities on is ‘We all go travelling by’ by Sheena Roberts.
