Charlie’s block play; where he created a sequence of washing clothes making a washing machine, a tumble dryer and a washing line, inspired us to to explore why and how we keep ourselves clean and to add resources from the real world to develop our imaginary role play. We have explored vocabulary and enjoyed stories and rhymes to enhance our knowledge and understanding of why we need to keep ourselves and our homes clean but also having lots of fun!. Enjoy some of the images below.

The children have spent time exploring soap in the water tray and outside. They have learnt the song “here we go round the mulberry bush” and “Miss Polly had a dolly” and enjoyed stories such as “Mrs Wishy Washy”, “The washing line” and the “Big Read bath”!
