## ***What can our bodies do?***

### This week Reception have been learning about their bodies and what they can do. We start each morning off with Dough Disco which helps to strengthen our hands and fingers.

### We experiemented with different ways of moving. We realised our bodies can run, climb, jump, write, paint ......

### We talked about our bones and how important they are to us. We read the story Funnybones.

### The best part of the week was exploring our senses! We had to feel, smell and listen to the objects in the bags and then guess what was in them. The sticky dough and smelly garlic were the favourites. Yuck!
