🚀✨ Our Theme This Week: Spaceships and Space! 🌙🪐
Following the children’s excitement during last week’s Bonfire Night celebrations, we noticed a growing curiosity about the fireworks sparkling in the sky. The children began wondering, “Where do the fireworks go?” This sparked a wonderful interest in what lies beyond the clouds, leading us on an exciting journey into space! 🚀
Throughout the week, we explored stars, planets, rockets and astronauts, covering all seven areas of learning.
🗣️ Communication and Language: Sharing ideas, asking questions and learning new space-related vocabulary.
❤️ Personal, Social and Emotional Development: Working together, sharing resources and taking turns during activities.
🤸 Physical Development: Developing fine and gross motor skills through cutting, sticking, building and moving like astronauts.
📚 Literacy: Enjoying space-themed stories, exploring new words and talking about what we could see in the pictures.
🔢 Mathematics: Counting stars, recognising shapes, comparing sizes and exploring patterns.
🌍 Understanding the World: Discovering planets, stars, rockets and astronauts while developing an understanding of the world beyond our own.
🎨 Expressive Arts and Design: Using our imagination and creativity to design and make our own spaceships, rockets and colourful space pictures.
What a fantastic week of curiosity, imagination and discovery! We love following the children’s interests and seeing where their little questions take us. Who knows what exciting adventure awaits next? 💫👩🚀
