lashes2508 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Our P.ze sessions we start with learning about our hearts , what they do accompanied by exercise , listening to each other's hearts and making our own stethoscope with funnels and cardboard tubes, we have moved on to our lungs now and reinforce this at each session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 After playing racing and chasing games in our garden we ask children how they feel, and they are usually aware that they are now hot/sweaty/puffed out, especially if you model language and ask questions to elicit response. One boy told me he was "knackered" today after racing his friend on the scooters! He was definitely aware of bodily changes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Physical activity of any sort can be used to 'teach' this. Do they understand that they get hot when they exercise? do they know to put on/take off clothes to adjust temperature? can you set up races and games and then lie down and see what happens? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi yes this is what we are doing at the moment I just wanted new fresh ideas, feel as if it is very repetitive and just want something new and I was trying to pick other peoples brains for ideas. I know it can be as simple as realising that they need a drink after physical activity. Many thanks for all your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 sorry I can indeed be the master of stating the obvious at times. If you are already doing this though why do you feel you need to do more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne28 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 sorry I can indeed be the master of stating the obvious at times. If you are already doing this though why do you feel you need to do more? Hi I didn't mean anything by my comment. I was just wondering if any body had different ideas. I feel as if I am always repeating the same activities for this statement and just wanted to see what others do. Sorry if I sounded rude I didn't mean to, sometimes I write without putting my brain into gear, Many thanks for your ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 HI Lynne ...don't worry I am not easily offended! ....! How about a pedometer?? could be tied in to a few things. We also practise deep breathing techniques when we need to calm down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also practise deep breathing techniques when we need to calm down Hi Thankyou for accepting my apology as I really didn't mean anything by it. That's a good idea I will take it on board and hopefully get the information I need. Do you know of any good books or other websites with activity ideas on the EYFS?, again this is for my own benefit just trying to get fresh ideas, rather than use the normal everyday activities. Many thanks once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the boy actually said was he was f*cking knackered" so I said "do you mean tired?" He replied "No, I'm f*cking knackered." Well he really must have been ....... (he's a lovely boy, but that's the home language). Still I suppose I can say he has built up a vocabulary which reflects the breath of his experience, on a positive note!!!!!!!
