Someone else who can help us is a DOCTOR. We know a song about some monkeys who needed a doctor…

5 little Monkeys

Let’s sing it again using our felt monkeys.

5 Little Monkeys

Do you  know where the doctor works? In a hospital, that’s right! Let’s learn a little bit more about hospitals

Hospitals

Let’s go  to the role play hospital and pretend to be doctors and nurses caring for the baby dolls. What new language can we use; doctor, nurse, sick, hurt, ouch, bandage, stethoscope, medicine. 

Let's sing Miss Polly Had a Dolly. 

Oh dear, what was wrong with Miss Polly’s dolly? She was sick. Who came to help? That's right, the doctor. 

This week we are learning all about people who help us in the hospital. Let’s read about when Maisy went to hospital.

Maisy goes to hospital

Did you see in our story that the doctor took a special photography of Maisy’s bones, inside her, called an X-ray?

Here’s a song about X-rays!

Working in pairs at the light box.

Do you remember one of the doctors jobs is to take pictures inside your body and these are called x-rays. 

Now let's have a look at some x-ray photos on our light box and see if we can guess the body parts!

Yesterday we looked at our light box to see what we could see inside to guess the different body parts, let's sing 

Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes 

to remind ourselves of our body parts!

Today we are going to be making some of our own x-ray body parts, (demonstrate craft.) 

Let’s have a look at a hand x-ray

Now we need to get  our hands moving and ready for our x-ray craft and sing

‘Open and shut them’

Come and choose which body part you would like to ‘X-Ray’ (foot or hand). 

Let’s paint your chosen body part in white and make a print onto black paper to create an X-Ray style picture.

Listen everyone, what can you hear? 

(Dog crying sound)

Oh dear, my little dog is crying, how can we stop it from crying, let’s pretend to be dog doctors and see if we can make it better!

First, let’s use the stethoscope and listen to its heartbeat.

Well, that is good news the dog’s heart sounds good. Now let’s do an x-ray:

X-Ray Pictures

Oh dear, I think the dog's leg is broken. How can we fix it? Can someone help me put a bandage on it?

Today in our carpet time we used a stethoscope to listen to the dogs heartbeat, shall we listen to the heartbeat again?

Heartbeat

Can you hear the regular beat, let’s get out our rhythm sticks and see if we can play along to the heartbeat together.

Let’s check out our Makaton Signs for the week: Read, Write & Speak
