• Play

  Lots of play opportunities going on just now. We are really enjoying our Wednesday play themed day as Mrs Hay, our play worker is in. We spend the day on a variety of play activities as well as using our topic of significant people to do more intentional play. We have been building buses when looking at Rosa Parks, making lighthouses when doing Grace Darling and we also made a great story in our tuft tray based on Florence Nightingale. The new p1s have been in a few times and are really enjoying all the play opportunities around the class.
