When reading different versions of 'Little Red Riding Hood', we noticed that in some, Grandma's Cottage is in the 'Woods' and in others it is in the 'Forest'. As we have had a 'move around' in nursery and have re-located our book corner, we asked the children to 'vote' where it would be - in the woods, or in the forest!
Each child put a 'tick' on the tree labelled either 'In the Woods' or 'In the Forest' to make their choice, then we counted them to see which was the most popular. It was very close, but 'In the Woods' won by two votes!
We had also noticed a 'Rule of the Woods' sign in one of the stories, and talked about what 'rules' we should have to ensure we looked after our lovely new 'book corner in the woods'!
This is what the children decided on:
1. Be quiet so the Wolf won't hear you!
2. Be gentle with the books
3. Sit down nicely
4. Turn the pages carefully
5. Put the book back on the rack
We decided to have a vote for where our 'Grandma's Cottage' role play should be too
- this time, 'In the Forest' won by two votes!
These were the 'rules' that the children decide on for Grandma's Cottage:
1. Take turns
2. Only three people at a time
3. Act out the story
4. Put everything tidy at the end
Now we are looking forward to using both new areas - but we will keep an eye out for any Wolves!
