This is two or three lessons for EYFS classes to teach them about the Zones of Regulation. It could be split into more lessons depending on the time of year you teach it - we teach this in Autumn 1 and 2 and we often go through it really slowly with them so they fully understand what we are teaching. I have also uploaded the supporting lesson plan.

This is an Understanding the World lesson all about birthdays focusing on the story Kipper’s Birthday. It is a lovely lesson around talking about celebrating a birthday and leads nicely to next week’s lesson where we focus on the birthday of Jesus. This gets children talking about how old they are and when their birthday is. From my experience, most children don’t know when their birthdays is but say next week or tomorrow but I get the birthday display out so they can all see when their birthday is. It also gives children an opportunity to understand their friends have different birthday. The afternoon finishes with a lovely birthday party for Kipper.

This is an Understanding the World lesson all about Nocturnal Animals. It gives children an introduction to what nocturnal means and then some animals which are nocturnal. It compares nocturnal animals to diurnal animals.
