The children helped to set up a Chinese restaurant in the role-play area this week.  They shared their ideas of what they thought should go into a restaurant and helped to create some resources.  They are learning to explore different cultures in the lead up to the celebration of Chinese New Year.  They are also developing their skills in sharing resources, communicating their ideas and sharing their experiences.  There has been some fantastic dramatic play – which is clearly evidenced in the superb photographs below.

Next week we will focus further on a mini Chinese New Year topic and you will be able to see evidence of this on the interactive planning wall in nursery.  As always, please feel free to offer your own comments either by replying to this post or by adding a sticky on the interactive planning wall.  Thank you.
