We are so excited to share our new topics with you, and have lots of great activities planned to support our creative curriculum.

Our main text for this half-term is 'Goldilocks and Just the One Bear' by Leigh Hodgkinson.

'We all know that when Goldilocks made a bit of a mess of The Three Bears' house, they were glad to see the back of her. But did you ever wonder what happened afterwards? Well, quite A LOT actually. Years later, the Little Bear gets lost in the BIG city. And you'll NEVER guess who he stumbles into...'

Our write away at the end of the unit will be to write a new versioin of the story.
