The Magic Porridge Pot is a traditional tale which we will be retelling and acting out over the next fortnight. 
We chose Sally’s Secret to tie in with a current interest in den building. The illustrations in the book are just beautiful!
Last week, we read The Happy Happy Hedgehog Band and so enjoyed joining in with the rhythms created by Harry the Hedgehog and his friends. This book will give us lots of opportunity to tap out the rhythms too. There is lots of evidence out there that children who develop a good sense of rhythm have a better chance of developing as good readers, so the more we can do to support this, the better.
This is the last ‘Big bear and Little Bear’ book that we will be reading. The children have loved this series by Martin Waddell and it has led us to explore more books by him…
…like this one, which is a little gem.
We hope your child enjoys this week’s stories. Please let us know if there have been any particular favourites.
Our song of the week is Peter taps with one hammer.
It can be found in this book, which the children very much enjoy using in Nursery.
