Our new topic is Travel and Transport – we have six different purposeful play areas where the children can choose to learn:-

Cars – in this area the target is to think about directions – what words should we be using – left, right, turn, back, forward?

Trains – this task is all about teamwork – how big a train track can you build with your classmates?  Can you create tunnels and will the tracks go in different directions?

Reading Castle – a lovely quiet zone that you can look at books all about planes, trains, cars and boats

Travel Agency – We need two travel agents and two customers for this area?  What questions do we need to ask and then answer to book the perfect holiday?

Jigsaws – this area helps to refine fine motor skills and problem solving – there are lots of different “transport themed” jigsaws and Mrs Cairns makes you choose a more tricky one each time.

Writing table – we need lots of signs, words and pictures to help develop and consolidate our learning.  Be creative and help your classmates!
