A Very Wet Wonderland!

Well done Willow class for your fantastic behaviour on our trip to Wonderland.
Unfortunately the rain was relentless and we were all very soggy! We managed to race around and see most of the houses though.

 We loved seeing 'The Three Little Pigs Houses they were just like they looked like in the book we read.




We were a little worried that the dinosaurs looked hungry when we walked past them on the way to have lunch - so we sneaked past very quickly!
It was such a shame that the heavy rain cut our trip short, we hope the children remember some of the nice things they saw and not just remember being soaked!
Thank you so much to Mummies who came along to help and got very very wet - without your help trips wouldn't be able to take place.

Stars of week 6!


Well done Lestat, Eloise and Grace - You had the most DOJO's - You are the Stars of this week!

Mr Wolf came to visit!

Yes you heard right!!!
Mr Big Bad Wolf came to visit us at Greenfields!
We were a bit worried at first...we thought he might eat us!

But when we got talking to him we realised he isn't really a big bad wolf. He had been suffering from a bad back and had lost his wallet so he had no money to buy food. Mr wolf was very sorry to the pigs. We helped him to apologise by writing some 'sorry cards' for him to give the pigs.
Come and see us soon Mr Wolf!

A Wonderful Wolfie Wellie Wednesday!

We had so much fun outside this week in Wellie Wednesday!
We decided we could build better houses then those little pigs so we worked together in teams to build much stronger houses.
We built a straw one,













A stick one














and a brick one!


We all pretended to be wolves and tried to blow the houses down but the houses were far too strong!
We talked about the materials and what they were like and the different sizes of the materials and houses all whilst we were busy playing!!!

Lots of good House builders in the making in Willow and Nursery class :-)

Story Makers!

Today we read a story called 'The Three Horrid Pigs'. In this story the pigs were nasty and the Wolf was friendly and helpful. We decided to make some new stories of our own. Miss Quinn's group came up with 'The Three Silly Pigs' They went to school and were always silly until one day their teacher (Mr Wolf) and friends needed them to save the day! Mr Smith's team came up with 'The Three nasty pigs and the Nastier Wolf'. The characters in the story found themselves very lonely so they ended up reformed characters and good friends. Mrs Barnards story was the 'Three Lazy Pigs'. The pigs were so messy and lazy that Mummy pig told them to go. They tried to build houses - but not properly because they were lazy. The houses fell down and injured them so Mr Wolf and the Wolf children took the pigs to Daddy Pig the local doctor.
Let us know if you have any ideas for a new 'Three Pigs' story.

Little Pig, Little Pig, Let me come in!!!

This week we have been looking at the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'.
We've had lots of fun retelling it with our character masks in the forest school area. We made our own books of the story in Literacy, ordered blown over numbered houses in maths and created some fabulous collage houses in our Art session. What do you think?



















We also had a go at sketching our own houses - we have some fabulous artists in our class. Ellie May's Picture was so good we decided to put it in the class frame outside our room.
You can tell the story to your friends and family at home - try this!
Retell the Three Pigs story.
