Have fun exploring this well-known nursery rhyme with our EYFS Humpty Dumpty provision enhancement resource. Containing a variety of ideas for enhancing provision in the classroom, this resource can be used to support independent or adult-led play across 6 different areas of provision. Children will enjoy exploring and learning all about Humpty Dumpty. Each card includes helpful advice as well as questions that could be asked to prompt discussion.

It covers the following objectives for children in reception:

Physical Development

Develop their small motor skills so that they can use a range of tools competently, safely and confidently. Suggested tools: pencils for drawing and writing, paintbrushes, scissors, knives, forks and spoons.

Literacy

Spell words by identifying the sounds and then writing the sound with letter/s.

Re-read what they have written to check that it makes sense.

Expressive Arts and Design

Create collaboratively, sharing ideas, resources and skills.

Sing in a group or on their own, increasingly matching the pitch and following the melody.
