Forest Fairies

Topics Reception
This unit is part of Transport: On the Move Through Nature

Objectives

Early Learning Goals

  • Show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. Move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. Handle equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing.
  • Play co-operatively, taking turns with others. Take account of one another’s ideas about how to organise the activity. Show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children.
  • Be confident to try new activities, and to say why they like some activities more than others. Be confident to speak in a familiar group, will talk about their ideas, and will choose the resources needed for a chosen activity. Say when help is or isn't needed.
  • Represent ideas, thoughts and feelings through design and technology, art, music, role-play and stories.
