Pre-School- PSHE-Taking Turns and Sharing

We have been developing our taking turns and sharing skills this week. We have played a pairs game and needed to match the animals. The children had to wait their turn and watch what was happening when the other player took their turn. Children struggled at first to wait their turn and how to play the game but with some guidance we had lots of fun.

The children have enjoyed taking part in our Christmas dough disco. Moving arms up in the air and low to the ground and all around. We splat, pinched and moulded our dough to make reindeers, snowmen and Christmas puddings. The children have developed their skills over the term and are building their muscles in their arms and fingers.

Pre-School-UTW-Investigating Frozen Penguins

This week we have been exploring all about penguins, we have learnt that penguins live in the south pole where it is cold and there is lots of ice around. We have then explored ice but our penguins were stuck inside and we discussed how we can get them out. We used our hands to warm up the ice and watched it melt to free the penguins.

Pre-School- UTW-Electricity

In Pre-School the children have been learning about Electricity. We explored where electricity comes from and how it works, what happens when it goes off and how we get it to come back on again. We found that items like torches and clocks run off batteries and the interactive board and light table need an electric source from the switches. We discussed safety and how we do not touch electric products unless we have been told it is safe to use.

The children rolled the body and splatted the dough to shape eyes, a nose or used the enhancements to create wings and feet. The children have been building up muscle strength in their fingers.

Pre-School-P.S.H.E- What Do Our Bodies Need?-Making Fruit Kebabs

Today Pre-school In P.S.H.E discussed what our bodies need to be healthy. The children told me that we need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables and drink only milk and water to keep our bodies healthy because pop and sweets have too much sugar in them. The children told me they need to exercise like running, jumping and doing our P.E lessons with Mrs Corbally.
