We Are Learning… To use Fine and Gross Motor Movements with Confidence, Purpose, and Joy
According to the Chief Medical Officer, children under five need 180 minutes of physical activity each day!
This term we are getting active. We will be building and attempting our own obstacle courses, and finding creative ways to move over, under, around and through the obstacles.
We will be joining in with yoga and music and movement activities, and dancing to different types of music. We will be learning and using some new words to describe our movements.
We Are Learning… To use Tools and Hammers Safely for a Purpose
Along with other fine motor activities, we will be doing some woodwork. We will learn about different tools, their names and uses and how to use them safely and effectively.
We Are Learning… To use Descriptive and Positional Language to Describe a Journey and Communicate Our Ideas
Linked to our core story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, we will be acting out and re-telling the story in the garden and starting to map our journey. We will be using positional language to talk about our route and the ways we move over different obstacles. Where will the bear be hiding? Under the bridge? Over the hill? Behind the pond?

The children will be using the story map (overleaf) to retell the story.
