Our recent Living and Learning lesson was all about the importance of sleep.
Our learning explored why sleep is so important in our lives, how it can sometimes be difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep, and how to manage this. We also considered what the children can do to help themselves have good habits that can help them to fall asleep.
Firstly, we heard a story about a girl called Mia. We had to identify the things that were STOPPING her from getting to sleep.
As a class, we had a great discussion about what can HELP Mia (and us) to get to sleep and what might STOP us from getting to sleep.
The children has some great ideas.
I cuddle on to my teddy to help me go to sleep.
I have a special light that helps me.
I like to read a bedtime story. It makes me sleepy.
I don’t watch anything on a screen before bedtime.
Help at home by talking to your child about how to get a good night’s sleep and some of the things that can be part of a bedtime routine.
