Hedgehogs

This term we have been learning about ‘People who Help Us’ and ‘Growth’.

We had a special visit from firefighters and were able to climb in the fire engine and later we engaged in role play linked to firefighting whilst also exploring a wide range of sensory experiences. We have learnt about dental hygiene and brushed model teeth as well as brushing our own teeth.

During the second half of the term we were learning about Growth.  We have been measuring our height and will be able to observe how much we have grown later in the year.  Along with that we have been planting seeds and have been supported to observe emerging shoots.  The children have been able to help water them as they learnt about the things plants need to grow.

Next term we will be learning about animals.  We are looking forward to the farm visiting us and learning about animals as babies and what they look like as they grow, what sounds they make and where they live!
