The children were very excited to find some large footprints and some brown woolly hair in the woodland this morning. We wondered who could have visited the wood? The children thought it was maybe a bear but after following a trail of hair we found a basket in a tree with The Gruffalo story and characters from the story inside. We decided it must have been the Gruffalo! We read the story but found that the snake was missing, so the children searched for a snake in the wood and ended up finding fourteen. We decided we should make some log pile houses for the snakes to help them hide from the Gruffalo. The children worked well together and independently to create some fantastic log pile houses. The children then enjoyed some free play before having snack and finishing reading the Gruffalo story together. We ended the morning by introducing the game 'Eagle Eyes ' to the children.
