MNU 0-11a I have experimented with everyday items as units of measure to investigate and compare sizes and amount in my environments, sharing my findings with others.

LIT 0-14a I use signs, books or other texts to find useful information and I use this to plan, make choices or learn new things.

Well-being indicator: NURTURED

Our young learners have been making their own homemade soup using some common vegetables that we find in shops. The children considered and talked about  health and safety, including the importance of good hygiene within the Cathedral Café area. Our learners used a variety of cooking equipment, some for the first time. Many of the children used these independently, demonstrating themselves as successful learners and confident individuals.

The children have shown independence using the Smart Board to access videos to develop their fitness and discover ways they can keep their bodies active. The children have also been very active in our outdoor area, experimenting with everyday items to make obstacle courses and take part in group games. Our young learners are beginning to find ways to describe or show how their bodies feel after exercise.

Learning experiences this week have created opportunities for the children to feel confident to express their thoughts and opinions. They have enjoyed listening to ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and have been developing an understanding of the sequence of the story. Our young learners have used a lightbox and counters to design and create their own versions of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’.
