We have been discussing our hands and feet and also using them to measure – how many steps along the beam or carpet.  We have had great fun painting with our hands and some brave children even removed their socks and shoes and painted with their feet!   (Sorry if anyone had blue paint under their toe nails!! … but now you will know why!)

Remember that game called “Beetle Drive” well in the nursery Miss Shepherd adapted it to “People Drive.”  Each body part required a different number on the die – it meant that the children not only discussed their body part names but also practised number recognition on the board and die!

The children played body part bingo too  – with some trickier words such as eyebrow or elbow.

This week we used a different media to make the features of our face.  Mrs Hynd helped the children make a special dough with cornflour and food colouring.  The children then moulded the shapes of their eyes, mouth and nose.  It was lots of fun!
