Weekly Learning Project and extra ideas to enhance children's play and learning
This week we are focussing on Ourselves!
All about me:
Likes/dislikes
- Create a list of things that you do and don’t like.
- Talk about why you do or don’t like the things that you have written.
- Are there ways that people around you could help you when you are faced with something that you don’t like?
- Talk about how these things make you feel.
- Extension: Write a sentence to explain why you do/don’t like things on your list.
Feelings:
- Following the previous activity, talk about feelings and what they might look like.
- Use the ‘feelings’ sheet to help with examples and complete the activity: https://www.barnham.suffolk.sch.uk/resources-5/
- When joining the activity to the feeling, talk about what that feeling might look or feel like. E.g. when people are happy they might smile, laugh or jump up and down.
Faces:
- Use the ‘faces’ worksheet (or a blank piece of paper) to draw the people’s faces to match the emotions or feelings: https://www.barnham.suffolk.sch.uk/resources-5/
- Pull the face in the mirror first before drawing it.
- Talk about how it is ok to feel upset, sad or angry and explore ways that they can find help or console themselves when feeling this way.
Human body:
- Using a big piece of paper or cardboard, ask a grown up to draw around your body to make a big outline.
- Work together to label the different parts of your body whilst talking about the role of the different body parts.
- Think about what is inside your body too that you might not be able to see.
- Alternatively, use the ‘labelling body’ sheet: https://www.barnham.suffolk.sch.uk/resources-5/

Senses:
- Talk about your 5 senses: Touch, smell, taste, see, hear
- Make a senses challenge!
- Put a blind fold on and using your senses, guess what it is in front of you! You might need to smell a spoon full of vinegar or taste a slice of orange! Maybe you have to dip your finger into some beans! Can you guess what they all are using your senses?
- Now repeat this activity on one of your grown ups!
- I cant wait to see you guessing!
- Which senses did you use the most?
I am special because:
- When talking to your family and friends ask them ‘what makes me special?’
