This week we are thinking all about how we can look after ourselves. What are some of the things we need to do to keep healthy?

-Washing away our germs

-Making healthy food choices

Let’s sing along with all our teachers this fun hand washing song that you may already know the tune and recognise some of the performers!

Today we are going to get our hands a little bit dirty by drawing shapes in hair gel, let's recap our shapes with this fun shape game...

Shape Monsters

We are getting so good at shapes, lets see if we can draw the shapes using our fingers in the hair gel. 

Oh no, our hands are so dirty, what should we do? Wash them! 

Let’s go to the sink to wash our hands, don’t forget to use soap!

Here is a fun song about shapes. You can try today if you get time. 

Oh dear, look at our dolls, their hands are all dirty, can you help to wash them using soap and water? 

Don’t forget to clean in between the fingers!

I think we are superstars at washing away those yucky germs, it is now time to start thinking about healthy food! 

Let’s take a look at my magic bag, who would like to help me take out one item from the bag?

We found:

-a banana

-a corn on the cob

-an orange

-an onion

Are these healthy foods? YES! And I have a fun song to sing about these foods!

Go Bananas

Today we have something very exciting, we are going to make some healthy food ice lollies! Let’s have a think and name some healthy foods. Today we are going to use fruit and water to make our ice lollies. Can you name the fruit we are going to use? 

Here is the challenge: 

Can you use the tongs to pick up the fruit pieces? 

Can you pour the water into the ice lolly mould? 

I have a very special story to read with you about a very hungry caterpillar, who ate some healthy food and then ate some unhealthy food, let’s listen to the story and see if you can spot all the healthy foods!
