Humpty Dumpty

Lesson: Physical Development

Class: Reception Year: 2022 - 2023

We sang the rhyme Humpty Dumpty. We talked about what had made him fall off the wall.We thought he could have been blown off  by the wind, slipped on ice, got pushed off by a naughty egg or fell because he was being silly! We practised our cutting skills to cut Humpty in half, then we used plasters to stick him back together again. We built walls for Humpty and put a toy Humpty on and sang the rhyme. We used paper plates to make our own Humpty. We also did an experiment to find out what the best material was to protect an egg when it falls. We used shredded paper, rice, cotton wool and a paper towel. We found that all the eggs cracked but the shredded paper protected the egg the most.
