Our Bodies

This week we have been thinking about our bodies. We have learned about our skeletons and our bones. Some children wrote books about the skeleton and some children made careful drawings using black paper and white chalks.
We have thought a lot about keeping ourselves healthy this week. We found out why it is important to get lots of sleep and how we must go straight to bed at bedtime. I wonder if any of the parents have noticed a difference at bedtime at home?
We have learned about eating healthy food and eating a variety of foods. The children all made a plate of healthy food at welcome time and some children were able to draw their foods and label them.
In maths we have learned about doubling. Some of the children have enjoyed using our addition machine to work out doubling number sentences. May be you could also practice this at home?
Next week is book week. We will be doing activities with the Junior children and we are having a visitor called Professor Mango Pango who will be making poetry fun for us. On Friday you may dress up as a book character and please would you bring a story book and a cushion in for our whole school read?
