I n d o o r s –

This week indoors the children have been continuing to explore People Who Help Us. We adapted our home corner into a cafe, the children created their own menus and taking on the role of a waitress/waiter, applying their real life experiences to their imaginative play.

The children have also been creating their own stories in relation to People Who Help Us, developing their imaginative and fine motor skills.

In the creative area we have began to look at Chinese new year, making our own Chinese lanterns, challenging ourselves to create a pattern. We have also been using the internet to research and explore Chinese traditions, looking at dragon dances and the zodiac symbols for animals, learning it was the year of the horse.

Outdoors this week the children have been working alongside Becca to revamp the outdoor area. The children have made clear defined areas outdoors, we have a new cosy shelter for children to explore in and some children have enjoyed a story in our cosy shelter. Some children enjoyed exploring with the small loose part materials in the small world area, using their imagination throughout.

This week the ECC had a special visitor- Ziggy and his Road Safety Roadshow. The children had the opportunity to enjoy songs and games based all around road safety and how to keep safe whilst travelling in the community. Each child received a Ziggy bag home to enjoy.
