The children in the early level playroom have been learning through the context of nursery rhymes, with a particular focus on ‘Incy Wincy Spider.’ During outdoor play, the children have participated in searches for spiders and other creepy crawlies, hunted for webs and used the guttering in the water zone to bring the rhyme to life. Through the use of the ‘wonder wall’ the children have been able to develop their interest in spiders by wondering, asking questions and then using books and technology to find the information they need. Spiders have popped up all over the nursery, from the water to the playdough table, and the creation of a giant spiders web using masking tape has attracted some very large spiders!
Outdoors, the children have been participating in energetic play and have been learning how to be safe, particularly when using the climbing frame. Daily opportunities to use the balance and pedal bikes, have enabled the children to learn how to control their movement and balance.
