This month in sea-turtles we have been exploring movement by
creating flashcards with the children. The children got really involved in the
physical movement such as running, jumping, bending, reaching, climbing and
dancing to the tune of the music. Children have loved creating movement, and
looking back at their movements on the camera.
We've made our own musical instruments by using a variety of
materials and we have tested them out in circle-times with our peers. The children explored the different sounds
they could make with bottles of rice by shaking, tapping and banging.
We used up our recycling resources to create a bus out of
junk modelling. The children created a bus by painting the boxes red. Children made props by using old tickets to
pretend they are on the bus. Children
learnt the actions to the wheel s on the bus.
Children have loved the Gruffalo story sack, learning all
the animals in the book and what movements they make. Children have learnt
about colours according to the Gruffalo story. Children have enjoyed going on a
walk through the forest we created in the “Gruffalo” corner.
