Last week the children enjoyed some stories by Shirley Hughes about Alfie, particularly 'Alfie gets in First' and An Evening at Alfies.' We have been reading the stories and retelling them in our own words the next day. The children have also been looking at the pictures and choosing toys that Alfie has in the story to play with at pre school, for example Noah's ark in the evening with Alfie story. Also from Alfie gets in first we got out the dolls house and made ladders for 'people' to climb up.
This helps children with their recall and extends their thinking.
Next week we are going to read Alfie's Feet and a Walk in the Park, thinking about parks going into Autumn.
Alfie's feet is about wellington boots and puddles, so we will be doing some boot printing, puddle splashing and role playing a shoe shop.
At circle time we are going to think about what makes us happy and sad, we will be sorting pictures according to how the children think the person in the picture is feeling. And using mirrors to make faces in! The children will also be painting pictures of themselves.
I do hope you will be able to attend our get together on Thursday morning, it will only be about 30 minutes and I hope there will be some interesting information.
