"We're going on a bear hunt!" Queen's College reception children

The Reception children at Queen’s College are investigating “JOURNEYS” as part of this term’s learning. They started their “learning journey” with the wonderful story “WE’RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT” by Michael Rosen. The children adore this book, especially when they can include the actions into their role play. They have also been reading “Lost and Found” by Oliver Jeffers; in this story a boy goes on a journey with his friend, a penguin.
The children have been working on “sequencing” by looking at the events in the stories; this is one of the many skills that contributes to a child’s understanding of how a story is created - a beginning, a middle and an end; this understanding is an excellent foundation for future reading and writing.
