Our topic this term is Shorter Days, Longer Nights, with a focus on seasons, weather and day and night. In the classroom we have been camping out in our autumn woodland. The leaves have fallen from the trees and next week winter will begin to arrive and we may be lucky enough to get some snow (well Christmas is coming!). We have been reading lots of stories about the dark and going to bed. Some of our favourites are While You Are Sleeping by Alexis Deacon
and I Want My Light On by Tony Ross
The story that we are learning to retell this term is Can’t You Sleep Little Bear? by Martin Waddell.
We have talked about the two characters and can describe both Big Bear and Little Bear. Â Mrs Saeed is impressed with how quickly we have all learnt to retell the story and next week we hope to share our story with Nursery.
I’m sure that the children would all be able to retell our story at home too!
