Class 1 The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe

Class 1 explored the nursery rhyme through drama. They retold the story, asked questions about why the old woman ‘didn’t know what to do’, and talked about different endings for the rhyme.
Suggestions included - ‘she kissed them and cuddled them and sent them to bed’ , ‘she read them a story.....’ ‘she put their pyjamas on and brushed their teeth....’, ‘ she gave them a bath.....’.

During plan, do, review they chose to design shoe houses, make a scroll telling the story in pictures, make furniture for a  ‘shoe house’,and make their own little books. In the role play area they cooked soup, tidied the house, wrote shopping lists and recipe books.
