Our role play areas will be based on the favourite story of ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’, and we will learn lots of teddy songs and rhymes.

We will find out about sea creatures, talk about our favourite seaside activities and take part in some seaside inspired dance and role play. There will be lots of stories and rhymes to listen to and we will use information books to ask and answer questions. Arts Week will be on the week beginning the 12th June. Teddy Bear’s Picnic
