We have all been learning about different kinds of transport. Let’s look at this video to remind us about the different kinds of transport we get.
Tell me, what different kinds of transport do we get?
This week we are learning all about cars. Let’s watch a video about cars
Do you have a car at home? What noise does it make? What colour is it?
Today, we are going to do a fun role play activity - car washing! Let’s have a look at this video to help us know what we need for our activity and what we do.
What do we need for our car washing role play? Buckets, sponges, water, washing-up liquid, hoses? Anything else?
Now, we are going to go outside and wash our cars as they are very dirty. Please remember that we need to be Caring Koalas and share the cars and equipment with our friends. And, we need to be Teamwork Tigers and all work together to get the cars all squeaky clean. Let’s go everyone!

Can you help give each elf the right amount of cars?
Hide some numbers 1-5 in a bag. Children take out a number and count out that many cars for their elf.
Who can remember what we are driving this week? That’s right a car. Now let’s go on an adventure ourselves. We are sitting in our car but we need to remember to put on our seatbelts-click. Now to turn on the engine-vroom. Hold on to the steering wheel and off we go…I wonder where we will end up!
We have ended up in the North Pole, what can you see? What animals can you see? Can you see the cold snow?
Let’s Play this listening game to see who we find living in the North Pole!
So many animals! Let's sing this fun penguin song together.
Can you see this picture of a family of penguins? They are having a BIG hug and they are happy and love each other. Who is in your family? Who do you love? Well, today we are going to make a special card for someone that we love. We have a special shaped piece of card…what shape is it? A heart! Look at all the different resources we have; paint, glitter, sequins, stickers. I wonder what you will choose to decorate your heart?
Morning Meet
Today we are going to listen to a silly Christmas story. I wonder what will happen.
