Little Red Hen Craft
As we were learning sound /Hh/ for 'hen' the children enjoyed making their own Little Red Hen out of paper plate. They painted it red first and then added the wings, the beak cut out of card and two pipecleaner legs. we used some colourful feathers as a finishing touch.
The Little Red Hen story puppets
To help with their role play of the story the children made the story puppets.
Farm animals - the Little Red Hen's friends
In preparation for their assembly the children looked at the animals that live on a farm. They used paper plates to make some farm animals that appear in the Little Red Hen story.
Wheat craft
We talked to the children that that pasta is made out of wheat. Then the children looked at the wheat spikes and tried to follow their pattern on paper.
Then they glued pieces of pasta to make their own wheat spikes.
Finally they painted pieces of pasta in yellow and green acrylics and painted them around their pictures as a frame.
Here is the children's work displayed on the classroom display.
