This week in Foundation Stage a crime was committed! The Reading Corner in our room had been wrecked by person or persons unknown.
Who could have committed such a crime?

The children had found clues near the crime scene; footprints and mud. The children thought we better ring 999 for the police! Today PC Ben Shore came along to investigate. He talked to the children about upholding the law and the difference between doing something good or bad. The children were fascinated. Following the chat, he produced some pieces of police uniform for the children to try on.

Later, the children all went outside to look at the police car. They were
allowed in the back and front, and many of the children pressed the siren
– they really enjoyed doing that!

As part of our people who help us topic we have been learning about different people who help us in our local community. The children began their topic learning about the people who help us when we are ill at the doctors or hospital.

We started the week by creating our very own Foundation Stage Hospital.

The children had great fun being doctors and nurses making everyone better.

The children became very interested in X Rays and the bones we have in our bodies. The children looked at X Ray pictures of different body parts and then created their own pictures of the bones in their bodies to create skeleton pictures.

As part of our people who help us topic we have been learning about different people who help us in our local community. Last week we learnt about the fire service.

The children learnt about what the fire service do. The children had lots of fun in our outdoor area pretending to be fire fighters.

The children were very interested in the fire engine. The children made their own fire engines. They used a non fiction book about fire fighters to find about the different parts of a fire engine.

The children in Foundation Stage 2 worked in teams to create junk models of fire engines.

The children in Foundation Stage 2 painted pictures of fire engines.

The younger children in Foundation Stage 1 made a BIG fire engine to play in.

Class 1 made a fruit salad with fruits from around the world. The children firstly designed their own fruit salad. They then wrote a shopping list for all the fruits that they would need and which country those fruits have come from.

The children then used their cutting and peeling skills to create their fruit salad.

Year 1 then tasted their fruit salad and we discussed if they enjoyed it or not. The children then wrote their opinions down explaining if they liked it or not and why.
