Weekly Activity
After reading ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ at basecamp, we explained that we are going to make a bridge, just like we read about in the story. We encouraged the children to work together and make it as independently as possible, using loose parts from around the nursery such as long and short planks of wood, car tyres, rocks, stones and tarps. Once they had made their bridge, the children needed to test it to see if it was strong and stable enough to hold them. Everyone took turns walking over the bridge and trying out different ways of moving. The practitioners then lead the re-enactment of the Three Billy Goats Gruff story which all the children loved acting out.
Afterwards, we encouraged the children to make troll faces using water, mud, clay and natural resources and also troll masks using cardboard, wool, leaves, googly eyes and sticks.
