Summer 1
Hi everyone this half term our topic is transport. Each week we will focus on a specific vehicle including buses, cars and trains. The children will explore the vehicles and have the opportunity to participate in new and exciting activities
Week 1 and 2 Trains
This week we have been looking at trains we read The train ride and used props with the story to promote creative learning.
We are doing the Story Massage Programme which is based on ten simple strokes, given through clothes, that are used to ‘illustrate’ the words of a story, song or poem. The strokes each have a self-explanatory name such as The Wave or The Calm and an accompanying symbol as a visual cue. These strokes have been designed to offer a choice of sensory responses, depth of pressure, and range of descriptive movements. Tracing a large circle, for example, can depict the sun, a sense of community or dancing at a disco. While a squeezing action can represent a hug or eating a delicious meal.
In Senseology we used our 5 senses look, hear, touch , taste and smell to explore objects relating to transport. In cookery we are making cheese and ham sandwiches, we are learning to spread , cut and chooses our fillings.
We had fun in PE with June using movement and music to follow instructions.
In maths we are looking at 2D shapes, we are exploring the properties as well as sorting and matching the shapes.
We are using our Charanga programme to listen to music and song, copy action and explore musical instruments.
For our physical development we are learning to use the outdoor play equipment correctly as well as taking turns with our friends.
In our outdoor learning area we have been riding bikes, mark making, drawing roads and vehicles with chalk, we have explore our sand and water toys as well as using a variety of construction toys to build vehicles.
