Week 3

We have been very interested in our baby role play area this week. We had an opportunity to dress up as Doctors and Nurses and weigh, measure and listen to our babies heart beat in our pop up clinic. To bring our learning into the real world we had the exciting opportunity to have a real baby visit our class! A very big thank you to Mrs Arrowsmith and baby Benjamin for the pleasure. We learnt about feeding and changing nappies and about how he has discovered his tongue!

Staying safe on our roads is very important and crossing the road correctly is an important skill. This week we all learnt how to cross the road safely and how to look out for cars. We used our sense of sight and hearing to help us.

WEEK 3:

Our fascination has led us to explore the wonderful red cabbage this week. We have used our science to explore and experiment.

We felt it and smelt it and tasted it. Then we cut it up and looked at the dye on our hands.




Our fascination then led us to soak the cabbage overnight to see if the water would change colour. We have had a lot of fun measuring the water into bottles and using our fine motor skills to manipulate the pipettes.
