Following on from our Chinese New Year Learning and the Year of the Tiger we have been reading the story ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ and some non-fiction books about tigers around the world. We have seen some wonderful learning around the areas of provision in the classroom. The children have been painting tigers, writing shopping lists in the writing area, using tea bags and tea pots in the outdoor area, role playing the story in the home corner with our story props and also using the small world area to make Sophie’s house and re-tell the story. Our children were very curious to learn more about tigers and we did this through shared non-fiction books and through watching some discovery videos. At the end of this sequence of learning our children shared their knowledge of tigers and we recorded this together. The vocabulary they used was tremendous and the knowledge they shared was very impressive!
