We Are Learning… To use Fine and Gross Motor Movements with Confidence, Purpose and Joy
According to the Chief Medical Officer, children under 5 need 180 minutes of physical activity each day!
This term we are getting active. We will be reading stories linked to animals and their movements and having a go at moving like the animals, as well as learning new vocabulary to describe our actions. We will be waddling like penguin s and slithering like snakes. Check out the stories Monkey and Me, Walking through the Jungle and Head to Toe
We will be learning more yoga moves and dancing to different types of music. Hopefully Karol will be teaching us some Colombian dancing.
We Are Learning… To use Descriptive and Positional Language to Describe a Journey and Communicate Our Ideas
We will be marching up and down the big hill using our gross motor skills and following the rhyme ‘The Grand Old Duke of York.’ We will be using positional language to go UP and DOWN the hill and even finding out where HALFWAY UP or DOWN is.
We will also be reading Rosie’s Walk and using our wonderful garden to go Under the bridge? Over the hill? Behind the pond? Please see the you tube video to read the story with your children, Rosie’s Walk (youtube.com)
We Are Learning… To use Our Fine and Large Motor Skills
Along with other fine motor activities, we will be making small flags to place carefully in our sandcastles and making large flags to wave in the garden and follow instructions such as high and low.
We will be experimenting with different ways of attaching the material to the sticks, using glue, staples. tape or string.
