Let's Investigate...

This week in the Foundation Stage we have become Investigators!

Some of us have been dressing up as Policemen and investigating mysteries. We have thought about the different technology that Police use, such as walkie-talkies and flashing lights.

We have had a workshop with real screwdrivers for the children to explore our broken machinery: a PC, a hairdryer, a monitor. How do these things work?






What can we investigate with the mirrors? We have been looking carefully at our own faces and features, talking about what makes us different and what makes us special. What is the same about you and your family? What is different?




In Literacy we have been thinking about the names of letters and the sounds they make. Butterflies have been looking carefully at capital letters and matching them with the lower case letters. Caterpillars have been learning to recognise the sounds s, a and t and thinking about the sounds these letters make. We have been watching this song.

Thank you to all parents and carers who have been thinking about investigation with their children at home and returned wow moments and questionnaires.

We wish you an exciting and restful half term and look forward to seeing you again in June!
