Tuesday 10th June

Today in the sand tray Luke and Florence worked together to create a garden they used loose parts to make a campfire and flowers for their garden. They started to add animals to the sand tray and changed their idea to a zoo where people could come and see all the different animals. 🦖 🐷 🐶 🦌

Today inside the children have enjoyed role playing in the home corner.

Today in the home corner Emily-Rose, Fraser and Zac enjoyed role playing mummies and daddies. Zac and Fraser were the children and Emily-Rose was the mummy. “What would you like to eat?” “Cereal please.” Zac used the milk jug to pour the milk into his cereal and “cup of tea.” “I’m making porridge for the baby.” Fraser enjoyed eating the porridge which led to both children eating chocolate. 🏡

Today in the home corner Elyn, Reuben and Lachlan were role playing mummies and daddies. Elyn pretended to be the mum and explained she had a teddy up her top because she was having a baby. Lachlan was the baby and Reuben was the dad. They went on an adventure and Reuben said “what out baby don’t jump on mummy you don’t want to hurt her.” 🏡

Today in the block area Rosie and Flora worked together to create a castle. Rosie came up with the suggestion to attach the two castles together using the long block. The girls used our wooden characters that represent real life people to live in their castle. 🏰

Wednesday 11th June

Today inside Euan worked hard at the woodwork bench as he uses the hammer and nails very carefully and has remembered to wear his safety goggles.🥽

Today outside Gregor worked independently to create a nice den to relax in. Gregor started of with the cushions then upgraded it by adding loose parts to make it more stable.

Thursday 12th June

Today Jackson and Lachlan enjoyed working together to sort through all the magnetic pieces to see what picture they could make 🦒

Today at play on pedals Robin, Rosie, Reuben, Luke, Brodie, Joni and Cammy  participated in two challenging activities that supported their development skills in balance whilst controlling their steering. Thy played the Sea of sharks and dot to dot games. The sea of sharks game made the children use speed and gliding skills to not put their feet into the shark infested ocean. They were challenged by expanding the area of gliding. The next game involved following a particular direction in a figure of 8 developing their awareness of other traffic, and needing to stop to allow others to pass. They discussed how when they travelled in a car that it was like a roundabout.

Today outside Jude, Lachlan and Zac confidently made their way around an obstacle course they helped to build with their peers 🏃
