Into the Woods

The children in Year One looked at the story of "The Gruffalo" as part of their theme. They found that a Gruffalo had been visiting their outdoor classroom during the evening as he had left footprints and other clues to his presence. The children wrote letters to him and helped him find what he was looking for. (They were relived to find out he was a friendly Gruffalo!) They made story maps as part of their geography learning and explored leaf printing in art. 

The Nutcracker

The children have been re-telling the story of "The Nutcracker" using shadow puppets.
