Early Level

The building works continue…………

Leave a comment

The children’s building zone continues to flourish. They have been planning their designs, measuring for size, width and height…..and as all workmen have a long leisurely lunch break, with their own ‘peice box’ which they brought from home. Now that they had undertaken a full risk assesssment and undertook a safety toolbox talk, they have begun to use real tools to fine tune their designs.

Outdoor’s the children have been developing their movement and coordination skills, from climbing trees to using swings at he local park.  In the garden the cold weather has created an ever curious environment where the children have been investigating the ice.

Through the 3 Read Nurturing Early Readers programme the children have been demonstrating their knowledge of character, setting and problem as they create their own representations.  Whilst two of boys demonstrate their love of their favourite story.

A few of the children have been learning about initial sounds in words. They have been working as a group supporting one another, sharing their skills and knowledge.

Digital technology continues to prove a popular choice of learning. They have been learning to use directional language as they use the remote control cars to knock down and count how many cylinders.  Within the touchtronics they have been learning to count on and back.

In the cafe area, there has been a queue of people waiting to place an order and then being served some delicious home cooked foods
