Week beginning 30.1 23

This week our story is 'Can't You Sleep Little Bear?'. We have been learning about day and night, light and dark. The children have been thinking about how Little Bear was feeling at bedtime and why he might not be able to sleep. We have been learning to relax with some mindfulness meditation.

Mindfulness Meditation for Kids - 5 Minutes Guided Meditation for Children

This mindfulness meditation for kids helps children learn how to better relax, focus on their breathing, become aware of body sensations, reduce stress, and let go of worries or anxiety from their busy days. By practicing this mindfulness meditation regularly, children can improve their overall health, boost their positive brain functions, and enjoy the benefits of reducing stress levels for better concentration and well-being daily.

The children have enjoyed using torches to explore light and dark. They have been particularly useful at tidy up time to look in dark spaces under cupboards for toys we have lost!

In Maths we have been learning about positional language (words to say where something is-in, under, on, beside, between) and directional language (words to describe movement-forward, backward, turn, through) Can you guess the words the children are showing us in the photos?
