Let's celebrate Weddings
This week we celebrated weddings with repetition and rhyme in The Scarecrows' Wedding story written by Julia Donaldson. The Bears re-enacted and adapted the scarecrows' wedding story with the characters, animals and props on small world. In role-play, we dressed to celebrate a wedding with buttonholes, and used champagne flutes, a tiered cake, flowers, a table plan and guest book to complete our wedding party.
,On our creative table, we made large tissue paper pompom flowers to hang in our wedding role-play. We designed and created wedding outfits for Harry and Betty, and painted a sky and cornfield background with watercolour for our scarecrows to stand in.
The popular transient art materials came out to create large scale scarecrows with our natural resources.
On the practical table, we made confetti from pastel coloured paper to use at our wedding, and created wedding acceptance cards by cutting and sticking wedding images. During construction, we assembled wedding cars big enough for the bride, groom and driver to fit inside, built large scarecrow puzzles and constructed a five-tier wedding cake.
On the blue writing table we made marks in confetti, and created a list of what Betty and Harry needed to collect for their wedding. We wrote an acceptance card for Betty's and Harry's wedding. We are learning lots of tricky words in phonics, so we tried to use these in our writing.
What a busy week! Next week, we start the countdown to Christmas with a Jolly Christmas Postman. There will be lots of singing with nativity and Christmas concert practices, and we start creating our secret Christmas crafts. Don't ask, we won't tell you!
