Water fun in the Rainbow Room

Over the last few week’s the children in the Rainbow Room have been curiously investigating the effects of water both indoors and out. They are beginning to copy and imitate each other as they pour and fill their watering cans, wash the cars and even joining each other as they have a little dip in the water tray. It’s great to know that mum or dad always pack a spare set of clothes to change in to.

Play Talk Read – Session 3

Our final session on the bus was a great success with families exploring the bus together.  Parents and children used their senses to explore some lovely caramel play dough .  To finnish off Lindsay read the children the story “Busters Birthday” and helped us sing some of our favourite songs.

Here we are using all our  senses to explore together. We also listened to “shark in the park” story and sang some familiar songs and rhymes. We are all looking forward to some messy play on the bus next week.

Developing curiosity in the birth to three environments

The children in the birth to three playrooms have been developing their curiosity through lots of fun exploratory experiences.
