Responsive Planning – The role play area was transformed into an animal hospital as the children were showing great interest in animals and caring for them. The children then developed their own imaginative situations with animal doctors, unicorn nurses and many more inventive scenarios.

Children worked together in the construction site to build “our house” They designed, constructed and co-operated then enjoyed playing in their house with others. I can explore ways to design and construct, discovering different ways of representing my ideas in imaginative ways.
A group of children made their own cosy reading area outdoors in the sunshine. I can communicate my thoughts and ideas when reading stories with my friends
Children made mobile phone holders in the woodwork area. I followed safety rules, I developed my hand eye co-ordination, I developed a sense of pride in my product.

Loose Parts Play
“When children interact with loose parts, they enter a world of “what if” that promotes the type of thinking that leads to problem solving and theoretical reasoning. Loose parts enhance children’s ability to think imaginatively and see solutions, and they bring a sense of adventure and excitement to children’s play”.(Dale and Beloglovsky)
A world of wonder was created by two children. They took their imaginations on a journey together adding different pieces of interest as they went along.
“The rocks are on the top so the big animals don’t get out”
“They are dangerous animals”
