Hi Everyone,
We start our new topic this week which will be based around one of our favourite stories 'Handa's Surprise'. We will be learning about where we live and where Handa lives. The weather in different countries, how we might travel to different places. We will be tasting different fruit from the story at snack time and children will also get a chance to act the story out too! Our topic will help to support our new focus which will be on gross motor development, healthy eating and exercise.
In our physical area we will be using a variety of different resources so that the children can practice their gross motor skills. We will have balls, bats, stilts, the trampoline, bean bags, balance beams, seesaws and much more. During our movement time we will be doing aerobics to music.
For our small world play we will be creating a safari tray with sand, straw and jungle animals. We will have fruit counters, tweezers and basket number cards on the maths table. We will be practicing both our gross motor and fine motor skills in the water tray, using kitchen tongs to catch balls and put them down a drain pipe. In the messy play tray, we will be playing in sand moose, with a variety of different tools.
On creative we will continue learning all about patterns by making different themed safari animal paper plates. Whose marks belong to who? We will be fruit printing using the fruits from the 'Handa Surprise' story and also having a go at painting and drawing our own pictures of the fruit too!
