Expressive Arts and Designs/People and Communities
We will be looking at what happens when we we combine different medias. We will explore what happens when we use our whole body to make movements leaving marks. We will also explore what happens when we use our body to move to music. To celebrate different festivals we will be experimenting with creating texture using a range of media. We will begin to learn how to use our imagination to recreate familiar songs and stories.
The World
We will be exposing our senses to a range of seasonal activities, such as craft and food. Through the use of our small world environment will be developing our understanding of the world, for example day and night. We will also be recognising different festivals and celebrations through role play opportunities. Whilst using our outdoor environment we will continue to recognise seasonal changes.
