This week our Foxes have been exploring how doctors and nurses help us both in hospitals and at a doctor's surgery, as part of our People Who Help Us topic. They enjoyed Julia Donaldson's 'The Hospital Dog' as their book of the week and had plenty of learning outside in the sunshine. Our role-play area has been converted into a doctor's surgery and the Foxes have had a lot of fun taking it in turns to be doctors. They have been looking at taking away from a number this week in maths and exploring different activities on the table to help consolidate their learning. We also looked at how hospitals have changed over the years, and learnt a little bit about Florence Nightingale and how she helped people. In Phonics, they have been recapping the sounds oo, oo, and ar. Foxes have also been expanding their imaginations and understanding of the world through the following activities:

- Developing their fine motor skills by cutting 

- The Dolls House, (converting it into a hospital)

- Water Play

- Construction, (building hospitals and ambulances)

- Using magnetic letters to make different words

- Using compare bears to form subtraction number sentences

- Practising letter formation and how to form a sentence

- Discussing how to help the people around us in PSHE
