🌿🐞 What the Ladybird Heard 🐞🌿
For World Book Day we all dressed us as characters and had a farm-tastic day looking at the book 'What the Ladybird Heard'!
The book provided lots of wonderful learning opportunities:
🌿Communication and Language - Copying animal sounds, retelling parts of the story
🐞 Personal, Social and Emotional - Understanding why rules are important, pre-school especially had lots of fun pretending to be police and robbers
🌿 Physical - Using different tools to paint, developing their grasp and fine motor skills, copying animal movements
🐞 Understanding the world - Sharing children's own experiences of farms and exploring different materials such as mud and oats
🌿 Maths - Noticing patterns and counting the ladybird's spots
🐞 Literacy - Showing an interest in pictures on a page, extending vocabulary using new words from the book
🌿Expressive arts and design - Dressing up, using imagination and developing storylines in pretend play
