In Nursery recently the children have had a fantastic time focusing on the story The Three Little Pigs! We have been doing this in a variety of ways such as roleplaying and recreating the story, encouraging them to bring others into their play and expand on their ideas using props, such as the straw, sticks and bricks.
They have been supported by us asking questions throughout to encourage the children to talk about what they see and expand on their ideas, with further assistance given to them with expanding their vocabulary.
Another method for this was creating crafts and using different materials to express their ideas, painting and using different blocks to construct houses etc. These different things have helped them gain a wider comprehension of the story and have a lot of fun as they go!
