Week beginning 28th September

We have had a lovely week exploring homes and acting out the story of The Three Little Pigs and collaging our own homes.

This week, our theme is my body and our senses, we are going to be very busy!

The children will be listening to their hearts, measuring their heights, and finding out ‘who is the tallest of them all?’ We will record their height on our chart and, during the year, the children will be able to see how much they have grown. A doctor’s surgery has opened in the role play area and at review time, we will be singing ‘Heads, shoulders, knees, and toes' and doing the actions. (click to open) and dancing away to the Beanbag song.

We will be exploring different materials with our senses – looking, smelling, touching, and listening – and thinking of words to describe the experiences and sensations. At lunch time, we will talk about the tastes and textures of our food.

During the afternoons, the children will be doing German, well-being, PE on the field, music and movement, Write dance and nature study/woodland area.

Outside, we will be busy serving up autumn treasures in the mud kitchen and creating giant roadways with our chalks and traffic signs.

The Discoverers' word of the week is help.
