Spiderman PE

Spiderweb of Friendship .....

In PE the children have been making 'Spiderman's Web of Friendship'. The spiders (aka children) needed to get through the spiderweb without getting stuck!











We love the outdoors....

Health and Self Care....

Tweenies have been practicing putting on their own coats and shoes:


















Development Matters from the EYFS:
*Helps with clothing, e.g. puts on hat, unzips zipper on jacket, takes off unbuttoned shirt.
*Beginning to be independent in self-care, but still often needs adult support.
*Dresses with help, e.g. puts arms into open-fronted coat or shirt when held up, pulls up own trousers, and pulls up zipper once it is fastened at the bottom.

How do you get across the mud without getting you wellies dirty???
