When we returned in August the children engaged in a lot of role play, mostly in the context of firefighters. Staff observed this and decided it would be a great topic for the month of September. The children loved role play with the costumes and clothes and simulated lots of real life situations when playing in the garden and in the classroom. In addition to our role play, we were very lucky to receive a visit from the local firefighters. The children also learned about safety in the nursery and at home.
