We have been working really hard to develop our outdoor literacy corner. Thanks to one of our parents, we now have a designated area where we can take forward our language and literacy skills. The boys and girls enjoy sitting outside and reading their favourite stories and discussing the characters with their friends. The children came up with a fantastic idea to “make a roof” as it was too bright to read the books – so we did! We used our big leaves and camouflage material as a canopy. What a cosy literacy corner it has become! The boys and girls are continuing to spend time on coming up with new ideas to further develop the area. What a great job!
M: “We need a roof, it’s too sunny!”
K: “I love reading here.”
R: “It’s fun being outside!”
L: “Can we bring out more books?”
The boys and girls have been using the literacy area to develop their writing and mark making skills – some of the children have brought out the threading letters as well as paper and pencils to draw and write.
G: “I’m going to write a letter and post it.”
C: “Can you read me a story?”
O: “This is my letter.”
