Who ate all my porridge?


The children had a fantastic last week of Goldilocks and the three bears! They  all had a great understanding of the story sequence and the end morale of the story. Towards the end of the week, they were all able to say "we should not go into other peoples' houses without asking", even before I finished the story. It was lovely to see them re-enacting the story while playing. 


 Mayumi had a great understanding of the different sizes of story items used for each bear. She was repeating "who ate all my porridge" while doing this activity.

 Porsche, Nari and Freya really got the grasp of sorting bears by size. They were talking to each other while deciding which ones were small, medium and large.

 Lucy was able to look at the picture, find what was missing and make it out of play dough.
 Irene, Lucas and Harry were able to build houses of different sizes according to the size of their bear. Not only were they practicing fine motor skills, they were adapting it according to their bear.

 Mungkorn loves exploring the world around him and here he is role-playing as animals in their home.

 Lexie, Ploen and SunLee always enjoy the water area - here they are washing dishes, pretending they are in the three bears home.

 Gap and Namnoon were able to look at the missing bowl of porridge, decide what size was needed and make it out of play dough.




 Nari and Lucy were able to match the correct bowls of porridge to the three bears, by looking at the size of it.



 Mungkorn built a home for his baby bear!
 Porsche made a blanket for mamma bears bed.
 Lexie and Namnoon role played in the three bears kitchen!
 Arthur and Mayumi made chairs and beds by looking at samples, for their bears!





 Ploen and Nari joined in too!

 Freya and Irene both wanted to be Goldilocks.
 EQ put his bear in a firetruck and took him on a journey around the class.
 Harry and Lucas used tweezers to find hidden bears in the sand, practicing their fine motor skills.
 SunLee, Linin and Mungkorn enjoyed mixing colours in the water area and watching how dishes disappear into the colour when they dip it in! SunLee worked on his fine motor skills by using a net on a stick to pick up items from the basin.






 Pailin and Irene really enjoyed mark making on the white board. Pailin drew Goldilocks and Irene drew a bed for Goldilocks!



 Lucy made a bed for mamma bear and baby bear!

We had a lot of fun on our child initiated days, as well. The children showed how well they have progressed in their independence and ability to handle objects, when compared to the start of the term.

In the end, we made a fantastic display board of Golilocks and the three bears! KM's hard work paid off! Come and have a look next time you are in school :) 




As a home activity this week, please encourage your child to represent quantity in everyday life. Allow them to count items around them and then compare them to see which one is more/less. Games such as these can also be used to enhance this skill.
