This week our focus has been on keeping our bodies healthy.
We used dough disco time as an opportunity to exercise not only our fingers but also our arms!
The children have been very enthusiastic!
We have had work out times! We had challenges such as stretching for 1 minute, and jogging on the spot for 3 minutes. We found that 3 minutes was much longer than we thought!!
The children said they felt tired, hot and out of breath! This gave great opportunities to talk about what activity does to our bodies. The children were very interested when I explained their hearts were beating faster. We looked in picture books to see what else was inside our bodies - lungs, bones, muscles. The conversation became quite complicated at times!
Outdoors we have used a range of equipment, and the weather has been beautiful. We have often come back inside ready for a good rest!
We finished the week with some fun races! Everyone enjoyed these and it was wonderful to hear the children cheering each other on!
