• Acorn and Goldilocks and the three bears

  Thu 22 Oct 2020

  Acorn have spent the last few weeks focusing on familiar stories. One of our focus stories was 'Goldilocks and the three bears'. The children enjoyed joining in with the repeated refrains, sequencing the story and acting it out with props.

  The three bears left some porridge for us to try in class. We followed instructions to make porridge and even tasted it too. But we took our learning even further and explored how we could change the taste by adding different ingredients such as jam, syrup, fruit and even tomato ketchup.
