Fairy Tales















We are still loving Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  You can watch it on the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3qTeyZxrJA

Kindergarten students were busy in the month of December using the Fairy Tales “The Three Little Pigs” and “The Gingerbread Man” as our central stories.  In these stories students explored character feelings, ways of solving problems and patterns. 

In our dramatic play centre, students created a brick house and fire place for the three little pigs. All elements of this house and many of the engineering challenges were solved by the students using materials available in the classroom.  They enjoyed knocking on the door and using the pattern from the story: “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.”  “Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.”

On our last day of school the Gingerbread Man visited our classroom and left a note.  The Gingerbread man never stays in one spot long, so we have to solve the clues and chase him all around the school.  When we got back to our classroom, we found him resting on the teacher chair with a gingerbread treat for everyone!
