Who’s Been Eating Our Porridge? A Week of Learning Through Play

This week, our class enjoyed exploring Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children loved joining in with the story and acting out their favourite parts.

We made porridge together, starting by feeling the dry oats, adding milk, and observing how the mixture changed to become soft and sticky. The children also had the chance to chop fruit and then enjoy their own bowls of porridge.

In the tuff tray, the children played with dry oats and used masks to re-enact scenes from the story. They used lots of imagination and repeated familiar phrases such as, “Someone’s been eating my porridge!”

For our art activity, we created bear masks with tissue paper, giving the children plenty of practice with their cutting and sticking skills. To finish the week, we made toast—just like Baby Bear in the story.

It was a wonderful week filled with storytelling, creativity, and hands-on learning!
