Our Week  As part of our topic Long Ago, we have been looking at stories from the past. Bears shared the story  The Tiger Who Came to Tea  .  As we read the story, we talked about the pictures and compared the little girl's life and her parents with our lives. In the past, people had milk delivered by the milkman, we asked if anyone have milk delivered and where do we buy our milk? Does it come in plastic cartons or glass bottles? We then looked at the picture of the little girl and her mum having tea, and discussed the different things we have for tea. When we looked at the picture of the kitchen in the story, we noticed it looked different to our kitchens, there are no kitchen machines! Bears enjoyed and shared a tea of jam sandwiches that we had made and then went to visit our café in the role play area. In literacy, Bears have been reading the Magic Paintbrush. We looked at the picture from the book, with our talk partners thought of some captions for the picture. We read them

  Our Week  Welcome back to school! Bears have had a busy week starting our new topic, Long Ago. In the Long Ago project, we will be learning all about our history and how we have changed from when we were babies. We will be learning about our heritage and find out what life was like when our parents and grandparents were children, what it was like to go to school in the past and how everyday objects, such as clothes, toys and vehicles have changed. We have been sharing objects, stories and memories from our parents, from an old Beatles record to a medals! We look forward to sharing more stories, interesting objects and photographs from history over the next few weeks.    In our construction area, we made models of buildings from long, long ago! We have been looking at and discussing photographs of children and objects from long ago. We observed that they were black and white and not colour. Telephones looked different, there were no mobile phones and we had to use typewriters as com
