ECC Learning Week Commencing 18.9.23-21.9.23

This week in the ECC we have continued with children’s interest of nursery rhymes, extending children’s opportunities to explore this theme 🌟


I n d o o r s

The children have seemed to enjoy reciting a variety of number songs and rhymes, exploring rhyming words and identifying the odd one out 😀 The children have had the opportunity to explore rhyme through a variety of media.

The children have also seemed to enjoy exploring the traditional story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three bears’ 🐻 🐻 🐻.
The children made a map of the woods and the bears house and discussed the story and the characters in the story. They then used the small world resources to retell the story, focusing on the beginning, middle and end of the story.

Week Beginning 24/04/2023

It’s been a busy week in the ECC.⭐️ Indoors we have been looking at road safety and the green cross code. We continued to explore small world, using vehicles and road signs through play.  We made some road signs in the art area as well as recognising what senses we need to use whilst out and about.

Curricular areas; Health and Well-being, Expressive Arts, Numeracy

Whenever we go to woods or explore the community we make sure to sing our song when crossing the street.
🎶Stop, look and listen.
Before you cross the street.
Use your eyes, use your ears.
Before you use your feet!🎶

In the art area, whilst creating road signs, we started discussing shape and used various shape objects to create pictures. We are all becoming a lot more confident with shape recognition.

Curricular area; Expressive Arts, Numeracy

Outdoors we have been able exploring den building and construction. This links into our trips to the woods and also our interest in camping. We began incorporating animals into our play and making houses for them.
