At the beginning of the day the children have freeflow play between the classroom and the shared area for the first half hour where they make choices for what to play with. Each area is carefully resourced to enable the development of different skills eg. co-operation, problem solving, numeracy, literacy etc.
This time is a super opportunity for children to share their news and to observe them in their play. It also provides time to focus on particular children and support them in different ways eg. phonics blending, emotional check in and social skills development.
