The Three Little Pigs

Babies and toddlers learn about the fab traditional tale, The Three Little Pigs.

Fairy tales are great for boosting little ones’ imaginations and over the past few weeks we’ve been looking at the story of The Three Little Pigs. 

As well as reading the story to the babies and toddlers daily, they’ve carried out lots of ‘Little Pig’ themed activities, including going on a stick hunt, making paper plate pig faces and turning home corner into the Three Little Pigs’ houses. They must have been built very well as the houses stayed up for some time!

Enter the Dragon!

We’ve been learning all about the countries that make up the Orient, including India, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.  We also celebrated the Chinese New Year. 

As part of the festivities, the children made a magnificent Chinese dragon and performed their very own traditional Dragon dance! They also spent time creating their own Rangoli artwork – an Indian art form where materials such as, coloured sand, rice and petals are used to make beautiful intricate patterns on the ground.

We also talked about the countries various culture and customs. The children finished exploring the Orient by making a giant Buddha sculpture.

Next stop on exciting world tour is Europe!
