A Mystery Cube has appeared in the class!
Today, we kicked off our new topic with a mysterious cube that magically appeared in our classroom! Inside were lots of interesting objects and we’ve been busy exploring, investigating and putting our thinking caps on to work out… what could possibly link them all together?
We were so excited to discover that all the mysterious objects hiding inside our cube had a special link to caring for ourselves!
This sparked lots of wonderful questions and conversations and we have been busy exploring all the different ways we can look after our bodies, minds and feelings.
We’ve been learning all about the special ways we can look after ourselves! From eating healthy foods, keeping our bodies active, brushing our teeth and getting plenty of rest. We’ve discovered that lots of little healthy choices help us to feel happy, healthy and strong!
We’ve been learning all about healthy and unhealthy foods and discovering which foods help our bodies to grow, stay strong and give us energy!
We had lots of fun designing our own healthy plates, developing our cutting skills as we carefully selected and stuck on our favourite healthy foods.
We also became little pizza chefs! We created our own healthy pizzas while practising our number recognition and counting skills as we added the correct number of ingredients to our pizza bases.
We counted, checked and made sure our pizzas had just the right amount of ingredients.
We have been busy learning all about how we can care for ourselves and have been exploring our feelings and emotions, learning how to recognise and talk about how we feel.
We have also been practising how to answer “Sut wyt ti?” in Welsh and learning lots of new words to help us share our feelings.
We are becoming fantastic at understanding our emotions and knowing that all our feelings are important!
Healthy Food Heroes!
After learning all about healthy and unhealthy foods, we became Healthy Food Detectives! We had to sort different foods into the right groups and talked about how healthy foods help our bodies to grow, stay strong and give us energy!
We have been learning all about instruction writing! We’ve been using our planning skeleton to help us organise our ideas and plan our very own instructions for Leroy.
Now it’s time to put our plans to work and show Leroy how to brush his teeth! We’ll use time words and pictures to make our instructions clear and easy for Leroy to follow.
After learning all about instructions and creating our very own set of instructions on How to Brush Your Teeth, we had a very special visitor in our classroom… Leroy!
Leroy came to us with a little problem, he didn’t know how to brush his teeth! Luckily, we were experts after all our learning, so we were more than happy to help. We used our instructions to show Leroy, step by step, how to get those teeth sparkling clean!
Look How Much We’ve Grown!
With lots of love and care, we have grown into happy, healthy little people! This week, we talked about what we could and couldn’t do when we were babies and compared this to all the amazing things we can do now! From crawling and babbling to running, talking and learning — look how far we’ve come!
With all the love and care we have received, we have grown so much! This week, we have been busy practising our measuring skills and putting them to the test by measuring just how tall we are!
We had lots of fun finding out who was the tallest and celebrating how much we have all grown!
We found out just how tall we have grown and had lots of fun comparing our heights! Then we got creative and drew around our bodies before carefully labelling all the different parts.
We had so much fun learning about our amazing bodies and discovering just how much we’ve grown!
We’ve been learning all about how we can look after ourselves, but now it’s time to think about the special people who look after us!
Our families can help us feel safe, happy and loved in lots of different ways. So let’s explore how our families care for us and all the little things they do to help us grow, learn and smile!
We’ve been thinking about who cares for us and all the special people who make us feel loved and safe. We’ve been busy getting creative and making our very own pebble family pictures! It’s been lots of fun bringing our families to life, one little pebble at a time!
We’ve been thinking about who cares for us and all the special people who make us feel loved and safe! Then we got creative and busy painting our very own family portraits!
This week, we’ve been thinking all about the wonderful people who care for us! We’ve been exploring all the special little ways they look after us, help us, make us smile and fill our hearts with love. From the biggest hugs to the kindest little things, it’s all about celebrating the people who make us feel safe, happy and loved!
