This week in Acorns we have been reading the traditional story ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. In Literacy we listened to the story and then retold it in our own words, using vocabulary we had learned and also words we thought of ourselves – ‘the terrifying Troll’, ‘the worried Billy Goat’ and ‘the tasty green grass’.

We linked this to our work in Mathematics about size; we talked about the different sizes of the goats in the story and put pictures in size order.

As part of our Science work we carried out a creative challenge to build a bridge that was strong and sturdy enough for a toy to balance on. There were some fantastic problem solving and teamwork skills involved!

Outside we imagined that we had to build a route across the outdoor area to protect us from the Troll! We worked together safely to carry and move equipment, and develop a solid track from the beginning to the end.

Super duper work Acorns!
