Health and safety week

9th May

This week we join the school for a Health and Safety week.
We will be thinking about sun safety, talking about the need for hats and sun cream.
 On Tuesday we have the opportunity to visit the life education van, where we will talk about how important sleep and exercise is to our body, also learning about a healthy breakfast.
We are also going to have a healthy sandwich week, using vegetables, fruit and cheeses to make different sandwiches.
We will be holding our annual scootathon, which will help the children  talk about exercise, crash helmets and the need to be safe and water to keep our bodies working.
 We also hope to spend some time on the school field, running and playing games, then thinking about what we need and how we feel when our bodies do lots of exercise.
SOUNDS AND LETTERS. will be lots of songs about our bodies and more alliteration and rhyming.

Last week we planned the week based on the children's interests and learning, for example, some of the children had a great time learning and exploring fossils, others loved drawing pictures of blossom from my tree, and a small group enjoyed the story of Alfie and Annie Rose finding a worm in their apple, and how you can make shapes and even letters when we peel apples with a knife !
Also we have had all three of the 'Shark in the Park' stories and the children have been asking for the 3 stories at every story time!
So along side our theme we will be continuing this way of planning as a thread through our learning throughout the rest of the year.
