The Nursery children were curious to find our suitcase containing some items belonging to a mysterious character. The children discussed the various items, what they looked like and who they could belong to. We thought about different story characters and the children determined that the suitcase belonged to Paddington Bear.
Linking into our whole school topic in the Spring term, we talked about who Paddington Bear was and thought about other stories about bears. The children were very excited to see our home corner turn into the three bears cottage and have been very engaged with role playing as the three bears. Our porridge oats sensory tray was a very popular choice where the children retold the story using the props available and compared the sizes of the bowls where they were able to use their mathematical vocabulary.
