This month we looked at being ‘active’ and how to be
healthy.
We created new situations to explore movements outdoors as well
indoors due to younger children becoming more mobile.
Using music and
movement circle-time helped children to join in with rhymes and create actions
to the movements. During the topic children enjoyed going into the car park to
explore movement with the parachute. Children learnt new words to support their
actions, for example’ up’ and ‘down’.
We've been exploring different types of obstacle courses
both indoors and outdoors by taking risks safely and exploring the different
ways we move, like wiggling like a worm through the tunnel. Children explored
climbing on all fours through the rainbow rings, using new equipment such as stepping
stones to gain skills and confidence at balancing.
We enjoyed pancake day by participating in pancake races, we
got to enjoy the pancakes later on at teatime, yummy!
Children enjoyed many action songs, especially hop little
bunnies. We used the song to create different animal movements for example snap little crocodiles. Children learned
different actions for each animal.
Children have shown interest in balls by kicking, rolling, throwing
and passing the ball. In small groups they have practiced scoring a goal. We
have been exploring different sizes of
balls to play with.
