We used our head, hand and heart in PE today to help us – think about balancing sequences, balance with control and have the confidence to make shapes using their bodies. We linked it to our expedition and the children came up with movements linked to a baby, toddl

Hand Washing
This week as part of our expedition, we are looking at what we can do to keep our bodies healthy. Today we focussed on learning to wash our hands properly, to stop germs getting into our tummies. We used glitter to represent the germs and noticed that it we just put our hands in the water, the glitter did not come off. We then used soap to wash our hands and the glitter all came off. We spoke about how you need to wash between your fingers and your wrists too.

How does our body grow?
In expedition yesterday, we were scientists. We drew around Theaās body. We talked about ways we look after different parts of our bodies, how we can stay healthy and who can help us keep healthy. The children shared some brilliant ideas. #LovePlover

Creating Faces
The children were able to name all the features on their faces.
What do we use our ears for? Where are our eyes? These were some of the questions children answered and discussed. They then chose in provision to create faces using different materials and medians. #LovePlover
Being creative
Do you know where your eyes are on your head? This was one of the questions that we answered today. Some of the children thought that they were at the very top but when we used our hands to slide down our faces we realised that they were in the middle.
The children created pictures of faces using different materials and media. Have a look at our creations.

Personal Timelines
We looked at some adorable photos of our crew as toddlers and babies. The children spoke about what they couldnāt do but can do now as a child. Having met a real life baby and toddler this week they came up with really good comparisons. #LovePlover
See how I have grown
We shared the story Once there were giants. We compared the baby and toddler pictures to the visitors we have had this week. The children then drew their own timeline and could say how they have grown and what they can do now.
