This week the children have been exploring People Who Help Us, exploring the different job roles and how their role might help us. They have enjoyed using their imaginative skills in the role play area, taking on the role of e.g. a doctor, police officer, fire fighter, applying their real life experiences to their imaginative play. All children have knowledge of People Who Help Us however, we explored the children’s learning in more depth with a focus on doctors and hospitals. Some children were able to identify body parts and the name for specific body parts, some children were exploring x-ray photographs on the light box.

For our STEM focus this week the children have been exploring direction using the bee-bots with Rebecca our STEM champion.

Outdoors this week we have had a focus on feelings, linking with the upcoming Mental Health Week. Whilst we had parents visiting, the children and their parents took part in a colour monster scavenger hunt, focusing on how being outdoors makes our bodies feel strong and our minds feel happy. The children have been exploring forces by creating their own vehicles and building race tracks to explore this. They also created their own data handling tally score in relation to how far something travels.

The children were also being very creative in the mud kitchen, working together as part of a team creating their own menus.
