Our Learning - Weeks 2 & 3
During this fortnight in the 3-and 4-year-old kindergarten, the children had a visit from the Flying Bookworm who presented Goldilocks and the three Bears, The Ugly Duckling and The Gingerbread Man through interactive drama. The children were able to dress up, join in actions and songs enhancing the story telling.
