All About Position

Today’s activity is the last one about positional language. It is a fun creative one for you.

First watch this video to hear some more position words.

The learning today is linked to this week’s story, Rosie’s Walk. First make a picture of a face using small pieces of pasta and cereal. Then make a small hen like Rosie, who is going to go on a walk around the face you have made.

You will need the following things for the activity:

A pen

Two pieces of paper

Scissors

Coloured pencils

A selection of dried pasta, pulses and cereal

Step 1

Draw a circle on a piece of paper

Step 2

Use the dried food to make a face

Draw a picture of Rosie on the second piece of paper. Colour it in and cut it out.

Step 3

You then need to talk about where Rosie is going as you move her around the face, using the position words which you have been learning.

Like this:

Rosie goes through my hair,

across my cheek,

around my mouth,

over my nose,

past my eyes

and into my ears.

Have fun making your face and Rosie and talking about the walk she goes on.

All About Position

Today’s Maths activity is learning about your own body’s position, when it is near to objects. Listen to today’s song to help you understand.

Now watch this short video. Can you see all the different places where I am? Listen out for the different position words.

Next it is your turn. Find a position to stand in and ask your adult, Where am I? Can then tell them where you are using the correct position words? Such as:

I am on the chair.

or

I am next to the plant.

or

I am behind the teddy.

Have fun thinking of different places you can position yourself in. Remember to make sure it is a safe place!
