Next week we will be sharing 'The Gruffalo's Child' story.
We will be creating forest maps while looking for footprints and clues, decorating Gruffalo faces using textures and colours and using the clonker board to tell the story of the Gruffalo's child and explore sounds and rhythm.
The children have been working together to create a kind hand tree, they have been kind to each other and recognising when their friends have been kind to them. We are so proud to see so much kindness and hands on the tree.
Next weeks letter and sound is 'G' and the Makaton signs are 'Fox' and 'Worry'.
