Counting Activity Parental Notes

Tip: Encourage your child to touch the

objects as they count. Encourage them to

say the total e.g. 1,2,3. I can see 3

objects.

If your child can recognise the total without

counting, that is great! Ask them to check

they are right, through touching the

objects to count and say the total as

above.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats Gruff. They lived in a valley in the hills.

One day they saw a field of sweet green grass on the other side of the valley. So they decided to go there.

To reach the valley, the three billy goats had to cross a river.

There was only one bridge across the river and underneath there lived a terrible, grumpy troll. He never let anyone cross

the bridge, he always gobbled them up for breakfast.

The three goats made a plan. The smallest Billy Goat Gruff was the first to try and cross the bridge. Trip-trap, trip-trap

went his hooves as he walked across the bridge.

“Who goes trip-trap over my bridge?” growled the troll from under the bridge. “It’s only me, little Billy Goat Gruff,” said

the smallest goat.

“Then I’m coming to eat you up!” roared the troll.

“Please don’t eat me, I’m much too little,” said the smallest Billy Goat Gruff. “My brother is coming after me and he is

much bigger.”

“Hmm,” grunted the troll. “Then I will wait for him.”

Next the medium sized Billy Goat Gruff came over the bridge. Trip-trap, trip-trap went his hooves as he walked across the

bridge.

“Who goes trip-trap over my bridge?” growled the troll from under the bridge. “It’s only me, medium sized Billy Goat

Gruff,” said the goat.

“Then I’m coming to eat you up!” roared the troll.

“Please don’t eat me, I’m much too little,” said the medium sized Billy Goat Gruff. “My brother is coming after me and he

is much bigger.”

“Hmm,” grunted the troll. “Then I will wait for him.”

Soon the biggest Billy Goat Gruff came over the bridge. Trip-trap, trip-trap went his hooves.

“Who goes trip-trap over my bridge?” growled the troll from under the bridge. “It is I, big Billy Goat Gruff,” said the goat.

“Then I’m coming to eat you up!” roared the troll.

“Oh no you won’t!” The biggest goat shouted and he lowered his horns and charged at the troll. Smack! He butted him right

over the edge of the bridge.

The big Billy Goat Gruff joined his brothers. They found their field of sweet green grass and ate their fill.

The Three Little Billy goats Gruff Song

Listen and join in with The Three Billy Goats Gruff song by Campfire Crew here.

Draw a Story MapWho are the characters in the story? Can you describe the characters (mean troll, big goat)?Why do you think the troll would not let the goats across the bridge? Draw what happens at the beginning, middle and end of the story.Don’t forget to label the characters with an adult. Can you help the adult by hearing the initial sounds in each word. Perhaps you can hear all the sounds in troll.Can you use the map to retell the story.

Remember to try to hold your pencil correctly.

Tip: In Nursery, to support drawing, we always draw first as a guide.After we encourage the children to talk about what they have drawn and if they are ready we encourage them to hear the first sound in what they have drawn ‘to help us to’ label their picture. Then we encourage them to watch us write their name and they copy underneath.
