With our Hawaiian themed BBQ this month we
will be getting the children involved by getting them to create decorations to

foods and music.
The activities this month will be based around the Early Years
Foundation Stage (EYFS) areas of learning:
Prime areas:

attention in a variety of ways, drawing others into social interaction. PD: Develop likes and dislikes in food
and drink. C&L: Concentrates
intently on an objector activity of own choosing for short periods.
Specific areas:
M: Enjoy
filling and empting containers UW: Explore
objects by linking together different approaches, shaking, hitting etc. EA&D: Express self through physical
actions and songs
Some of the activities we will be doing this month will involve:
·
Pineapples, coconuts and other fruits. Sarah will support the children to create a
variety of paper fruit decorations to display at the BBQ.
·
Hand prints. Alice will support the children to make palm trees and Tropical
fish using their hand prints.
·
Exploring Hawaiian Fruits. Laura will introduce different Hawaiian
fruits such as Pineapples, coconuts, mangoes and papayas for the children to taste,
explore and paint with.
·
Paper flower pictures. Afia will support the children to create flower
pictures using different coloured tissue paper.
·
Paper Lei’s. Christina will be exploring colour with the
children as they use different coloured paper to make their own paper Lei.
·
Music and movement. The children will explore movements large
and small to Hawaiian music in the garden.
Some ideas to support your
children at home:
·
Get moving. Have some fun listening to tradition Hawaiian music and hula dance
around the room with you child.
·
Take a trip to the supermarket. Choose some different unusual fruit that grows
in Hawaii to try together.
