Within the 3-5 playroom, the children have been learning how to help one another, be kind and share. With the new addition of Shotts Café within the playroom, the children have been working together to prepare some wonderful food, including healthy pizzas and milkshakes, which they have very kindly shared with their friends, before working as a team to tidy up and clean the tables. As the sand is now on the floor , the children have had opportunities to share this space and the resources and work cooperatively. With the introduction of traditional table top games, the children are learning to wait for their turn and persevere. Through the use of the Seeds of Empathy books during Nurturing Early Readers the children are beginning to use emotional literacy within these play situations.
