Reception There's No Such Thing As The Gruffalo

Date: 21st Nov 2022 @ 7:44pm

Reception have been reading the story 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson this week.  To help develop our language and oracy the children have been using the puppets at the storytelling table to retell the story in their own words.  The children used some fabulous words to describe the Gruffalo including 'scary' 'terrifying' 'enormous' 'fierce'.  The children have also been enjoying role playing in our Gruffalo Cafe making some delicious food for the woodland creatures.  To consolidate the children's learning they have been making lists of the Gruffalo's favourite food, labelling the characters from the story, painting pictures of the Gruffalo, making different length snakes and making models of the Gruffalo using recycled material.

Have a look at some of our wonderful work.
