The NEST- Puffins- Ourselves

This half term, the Puffins class have been focusing on the topic of ‘Ourselves’. We have been exploring ourselves and the world around us through a range of fun, practical and sensory activities. The children have been learning to recognise different parts of their bodies, exploring different emotions and discovering things they like and enjoy. We have also been developing our communication, social and independence skills through daily routines, circle times, sensory play, mark making and practical activities. Cooking and baking have provided lots of opportunities to explore different ingredients, textures, smells and tastes, while our outdoor learning has allowed us to investigate and experience our surroundings. We have enjoyed lots of opportunities to learn through play, explore new experiences and celebrate our individual achievements!
