2025 - 2026
This week we introduced the topic of the digestive system - we looked at how food travels down form our mouth down to our stomachs. We posted balls labelled with different food items in the mouth and they landed into the stomach (bucket) at the bottom. We also made some gel zippy pouches and modelled this same concept using pompoms pushing them down the esophagus into the stomach.
This week we have been looking at the parts of the mouth - we explored our teeth and what they are used for, breaking down bits of food with the big teeth and then seeing how we need to brush them to keep them clean. We also used playdough to make different parts of the mouth, looking at teeth, tongue and lips. Finally we explored mark making with toothbrushes and toothpaste on picture of healthy and unhealthy teeth and sorted these.
We have had a fantastic first week in Hedgehogs class and have already been so busy! This week we have had an introduction to our sensory story Handa's surprise and have had the opportunity to explore different activities around this. We have also begun to look at number through counting trays which we linked to watermelons, started looking at some class rules in RE and an introduction to farming in Geography! A massive well done to all of Hedgehogs class for such a wonderful first week.
